Draw the Circle Wide
Rev. Deborah Cayer

Unitarian Universalists, like other religious liberals are deeply committed to inclusion. It's not just because we're nice people (though it's true that we are). This is the logical next move that comes out of our core orientation to life, ultimate reality, the earth, and our fellow humans. It's an important way that we live our values and beliefs.

Published: Sep 12, 2019 Sep 12, 2019

Early this summer, Durham CAN began organizing at the Durham Housing Authority (DHA) Hoover Road Community led by Organizer, Tinu Diver. Hoover Road is a conventional public housing community located in East Durham. The 54 multi-family townhomes were built in 1968. The units are for low income families and their rent is set at 30% of their income. Hoover Road residents include a mix of young families, multi-generational families, and elderly residents. Some residents have been living in the community for 25 years or more. 98% of heads of household are minorities and 94% make less than 30% AMI (1). According to the housing 1 authority, the average income of its 3,727 public housing tenants is $13,253 (2).
