A Church’s Creative Solution to the Fresno Housing Crisis

October 21, 2024 Ashley Goldsmith ENP News

The housing crisis is not just a headline—it’s a daily reality for many of Fresno’s residents, particularly for seniors living on fixed incomes. As rent costs rise, more and more seniors are finding themselves unable to afford safe and stable housing, pushing them to the brink of displacement.

One local church is stepping up to meet this need in a unique and inspiring way. Westside Church of God in Southwest Fresno is building tiny homes for seniors struggling to pay rent in their community.

ENP Literacy Report for the 2023-2024 School Year

After a Year of Literacy Support, How Are Our Students Doing?

A child’s reading skills are directly tied to their ability to thrive as an adult. Completing job applications, applying for scholarships, registering to vote, and getting a car loan all involve reading! Students with strong literacy skills are more likely to have higher self-esteem, graduate high school, and earn a living wage.

Because of this, Every Neighborhood Partnership (ENP) believes a city that works for everyone is a city where all children are given the support they need to become strong readers. However, in Fresno Unified School District (FUSD), only 22% of our 70,000 students are reading at their grade level.

“[Because] of a lack of awareness, many times we limit ourselves [or don’t know how] to make changes for our communities. For many years I was advocating with a group of residents for a pedestrian crosswalk in our area- the area around Susan B Anthony [Elementary School].

Now that I am in this program, I know exactly what the process is that I have to follow to guide other leaders so they can advocate for the development of our communities.”

“What good is it to say, ‘I love my neighbor,’ but not be present with them?”

David Delgado, The Garage Community Church.

Two years ago, the principal of Pyle Elementary asked Every Neighborhood Partnership (ENP) if there was a local church who would like to partner with their school. He was specifically looking for volunteers to serve as mentors for their 5th and 6th grade students.

Pyle Elementary School is about a ten minute walk from The Garage Community Church. “They’re our neighbors,” says David Delgado, a deacon at the church.
