In the city of Boston:
<p>
A minimum-wage worker would have to work 199 hours a week in
order to afford a median two-bedroom apartment.
<p>
26,300 elders, families, and individuals are at risk of becoming
homeless because of high rents.
<p>
An estimated 1,500 children will be homeless this year.
<p>
It is possible for everyone in our city to have a place to lay
their head.
<p>
But we're not talking about building more shelters.
<p>
We're talking about building a new city. A city where everyone is
welcome-- a city where everyone can afford a home.
<p>
Construction and discussion begins 7 pm, April 4th on the Science
Center lawn. Literally, from the ground up.
<p>
There will be food, music, community, speakers, education about the
housing crisis, and whatever you bring for building.
<p>
Rain date is 4/5, call Stephanie for more info 493-6652, SPREAD THE
WORD. We will have battery operated alarm clocks and extra tents and
night lights.
