The Poverty Project at Trinity Beamsville is pleased to announce their partnership with Affordable Housing Lincoln as we continue to work towards securing Affordable Housing in Lincoln, at the BDSS Site in downtown Beamsville.

AHL recently spoke at the Rotary Club of Lincoln early morning meeting, outlining for the members how quickly a person can be in a precarious housing situation and what the outcome of that would be both with and without affordable housing. You can read the text here

We know that information is key to understanding the need for anything and that many people are afraid of the words “affordable housing”, and so have created hand-outs for when speaking that cover a lot of the things people are afraid or, as well and carving out a budget showing the difference that 30% rent will make to an average adult in LIncoln.  We also have available on our website downloadable pdfs of this information for people to access.

This Sunday, Nov. 16, Irene Romagnoli, the woman who last year lived as a homeless person for a week to shine a spotlight on poverty and homelessness in Lincoln will be co-leading TUCB’s worship service and sharing the sermon with our congregation and on line. Youtube@trinityunitedchurchbeamsvi1031. You can read the sermon here.

On December 2nd, almost one year to the day from our first panel discussion, TUCB and AHL are hosting a second panel discussion.  This one, with four different panelists will look at what affordable housing is, why it is needed in Lincoln and what it could look like.

TUCB continues to be active and energetic in its desire to see affordable housing purposely built in Lincoln. If you are interested in working with us, please email affordablehousinglincoln@gmail.com.
