Give This Tuesday to Help Our Homeless and Low Income Neighbors Become Housed!

 

Dear Supporters and Friends of Making Housing and Community Happen (MHCH),

We had some great news this week: Heritage Square (the project we advocated for) is now fully funded and construction of 69 units of supportive housing for homeless seniors will begin here in Pasadena in six months! Our prayer vigils and other efforts have proven effective. Praise God!

Please support our efforts with a contribution on Giving Tuesday (and join our annual online celebration.)

Click here to donate.

Our annual celebration is called “A Change is Gonna Come” (based on the song by Sam Cooke). During our upcoming celebration you’ll see what we are are doing to create what Dr. King called “the beloved community.” We will share stories of those who are committed to housing justice and give our annual “Housing Justice Rockstar” award to Pastor Brita Pinkston (Pasadena Foursquare Church), Ed Washatka (Pasadena Housing Justice Coalition and Pasadenans Organizing for Progress or POP!), Rick Cole (former mayor of Pasadena, also with POP!) and Margaret Muñoz (Abundant Housing). You’ll experience powerful videos, inspiring testimonies, live music and more. Please join us for these joyous celebration of how God is at work in our community, ensuring that everyone has a decent and affordable home.  

 

Join us Tues, Nov. 30 at 7pm (online)
