Excerpt
courtesy of Housing L.A. Coalition:
“If Jesus were bodily present today, he would be
working not just for, but with the people sleeping on Skid Row, being displaced
by gentrification in Boyle Heights and Downtown LA, being told they cannot even
sleep in their cars in Westside LA. That’s what Housing LA is doing. Ask any
low-income or homeless person in this nation who works on the issue of housing
justice what the number one solution to homelessness is, and they will reply:
‘Homes!’ It seems very obvious, and sometimes the simplest answer is in fact
the best one.”
