"Building on Faith: Making Poverty Housing History"

Next month NBC will air an important new one-hour documentary called "Building on Faith: Making Poverty Housing History." The program, hosted by journalist Linda Ellerbee, will feature former presidential candidates John Edwards and Jack Kemp and will show how safe and secure homes are vital to building a just and functional society.

However, not all NBC affiliates plan to air the special. Please call your local NBC affiliate and ask for the program director. Then ask IF and WHEN they plan to air "Building on Faith: Making Poverty Housing History." With your encouragement, stations that are not committed to airing the special may add it to their lineup for December 10 or later.

One third of American families now spend at least 30% of their income on housing, which is officially "unaffordable." Worse yet, the National Low Income Housing Coalition reports that "there is not a single place in the whole country if you're a full-time, minimum-wage worker, where you can afford the rent on a one-bedroom rental unit."

Your call can make a difference, ensuring that people in your community see this special.
