Faith Groups Take on a New Role in Housing Efforts in Athens

The issue of homelessness in Athens is being tackled with fresh enthusiasm as faith-based organizations step up to play a more significant part in the solution. A fledgling initiative named One Church, One Family seeks to leverage the resources and community spirit of local churches to provide housing stability for those in need.

Paul Lazzari, a committed volunteer with the initiative, shared insights on the program’s aspirations and future with WUGA’s Emma Auer. Despite its nascent stage, Lazzari is optimistic about the potential impact of community-driven solutions in addressing homelessness. He emphasized the importance of collective effort in this endeavor.
