Vacant Homes and the Homeless

We love UrbanMinistry.org and all the rich resources they provide urban min folks with! Check out a recent blog they posted...

Boarded up house"Current estimates say that there are approximately 3.5 million homeless Americans. There are also 18.9 million vacant homes. That means that for every homeless person in America there are 5 empty houses. Neglected homes are at best a waste of resources and at worst immoral in the face of a homeless population larger than Connecticut. 

Richard 'Skip' Bronson calls attention to this in his latest blog."
