THE STATE OF FAMILIES LIVING IN MH COMMUNITIES

•    52% - 57% of Families in America live in Multi-Housing (MH) communities
•    This number is projected to increase by 5% by the end of 2010
•    Only 5% of these residents attend a local organized Church or Bible Believing Congregation
•    Local Churches are NOT connection with these communities



THE LOCAL CHURCH CHALLENGES
•    Most Church going members DO NOT live near the Church they attend
•    Most Christians want to go on mission trips in foreign lands
•    Most people in local Church congregations DO NOT think to serve the needs of the closest Multi-Housing community
•    There are NO current ADVOCATE to re-direct the interest of the people in Christian  congregations to serve multi-housing communities



MULTI-HOUSING COMMUNITY CHALLENGES
•    They want to retain their residents
•    They want to provide a safe and secure community for their residents
•    Residents can easily feel lonely if not connected with all of the people they live with
•    Student Gang Involvement has threatened the safety and security of residents; the good residents leave the community while those who threaten the safety and security of others move-in
•    Residents have a lack of commitment to the whole community
•    Property Managers seek ways to connect with ALL of their residents
•    Residents sometimes feel that they are views as the “forgotten people” by the local Church
