it all starts...with hope idea, prayer and discussion...i was invited today to one of our old and strongest partners, Brxonville Reformed Church, in Bronxville, to talk about affordable housing, by our board member, Joe French, and long time activist..Joe introduced me to a number of our regular builders over the year, Bill, Stoddard, Mark, John, Joe, successful business people, some active some retired, but not in their faith..still active they came for a Mens group discussion on affordable housing.....
What do we do, what are the incentives, what are the economics, what makes sense, an article on 10,000 units proposed by 2020..by the county was read from the NY Times...for me it is about faith, will, incentive, smart planning, green growth, and hope...why not Bronxville, why not here, what is stopping us..became the discussion....out of that two sites were pointed out today...possibly for four homes...no, yes!!!!! in Bronxville!
if we can do it in Bedford, in Rye, in Larchmont, why not Bronxville...stay tuned...This fine group of people were inspired to sacrifice their time, and realize that any faith communities role is not first about political will, but the will of moral and smart sense, and then political will will follow with grass roots efforts...our high schoolers from Bronxville, our volunteers, our leaders, all are there to join us...in January another meeting will follow after a conference call next week about the two sites...what about a discussion in your town..the time is now! Thank you Bronxville Reformed Church, mens grouip, students, all ...may our faith motivate us to action, be us Chrsitian, Jewish Muslim, or no faith, the time is now! The excitement is building!!!!! jjk
