Psalm 61:Verses 1-4 (pluralized)
1 Hear our cries, O God; listen to our prayers.
2 From the ends of the earth, we call to you, we call as our hearts grow faint;
lead us to the rock that is higher than us.
3 For you have been our refuge, a strong tower against the foe.
4 We long to dwell in your tent forever, and take refuge in the shelter
of your wings. Selah.
CASA P.O.W. Project has potential tenants from various backgrounds by: culture, economics, education, religion and lifestyle.
Renters often are constrained by a monthly budget with rent being the biggest portion.
We serve both working and welfare classes in finding appropriate spaces for their next homes.
WORK -- Tenants who work range from minimum wage singles earning $1000 month to couples earning about $2500 month on dual income.
Anyone who earns more than that is probably saving to own property instead. Newly married couples, single parents, students, bachelor/ettes,
newcomers, and self-employed are in this category.
WELFARE -- Sometimes, this involves the agreement to share rent and space between
subsidized tenants with limited budgets. Those on Basic Welfare often spend most of the
$520 a month on rent, often sharing rent and space and thus, they go weekly to food banks for food.
Whereas, those on Disability Welfare averaging $930 a month total can afford to rent on their own and
even have extra to buy food. Sharing rent and space is practical for anyone on a limited income.
The best deal for example, a three bedroom apartment $975 divided by 3 co-tenants = $325 each with utilities included;
whereas a two bedroom apartment $925 divided by 2 = $462.50 each; a one bedroom $800 divided by 2 = $400 each.
Unemployed, mentally or physically disabled, refugees, divorced, single parents, pensioners and students are in this group.
Of course it helps to know your apartment co-tenants before you move in, however, often complete strangers
move in together to save money. At CASA P.O.W.,
we have a waiting list of potential co-tenants looking for someone to share rent and space with. Some are waiting
in shelters, some are on the streets, and a few are leaving spaces where they had problems.
Eventually, we will try to have a drop-in office with networking meetings for everyone involved in the Project to meet face to
face. Also, we will have group viewings at Properties for those who are hesitant to
set an appointment on their own.
