Rent in our city has doubled in five years. Families who have lived here for generations are being pushed out. Teachers, nurses, and firefighters cannot afford to live in the communities they serve. I work at a community center and every week I see the devastation firsthand. A single mother of three who works two jobs but still cannot make rent. An elderly couple on fixed income who received an eviction notice after forty years in their apartment. A young teacher who sleeps in her car because she cannot find anything affordable within an hour of her school. These are not statistics. These are people with names and faces and stories. They are the backbone of our community, and we are losing them one by one to cities and towns where they know no one, far from the support systems that sustained them. We need systemic change, and we need it urgently. But while we work toward solutions, we also need immediate relief for families on the brink. We need landlords with compassion, developers with conscience, and leaders with courage. I am asking for prayers for every family facing housing insecurity. Pray for creative solutions, for policy changes, for the hearts of decision-makers to be moved, and for our community to rally around those who are most vulnerable.
