"May we never rest warm in our homes until all are free from poverty's chill." Anonymous

As we gather together in our homes to celebrate the blessings of our lives this Thanksgiving, here's a simple thing you can do that can help end poverty housing in your community. Next month NBC will air an important new one-hour documentary called "Building on Faith: Making Poverty Housing History." The program, hosted by veteran 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. Focusing on what people of faith are doing and can do to eliminate poverty housing, the program will also feature FaithfulAmerica founder Dr. Bob Edgar, General Secretary of the National Council of Churches. However...

Many but not all NBC affiliates plan to air the special. That's where you come in.

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.

To find your local station, go here: http://www.nbc.com/nbc/header/Local_Stations/

Why is this program so important? Because 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." The first step to eliminating housing poverty is to understand why it exists, where it exists, and how we can work together to end it. "Building on Faith" will examine how businesses, faith groups and non-profits can work in partnership with government programs to eliminate substandard housing. Please help insure that everyone in your hometown can see this special.

Why not make the call today? Tomorrow stations will be closed, and you will be up to your elbows stuffing the turkey anyway. Your call today can make a great deal of difference. As always, we are grateful for your abiding concern for those who find strength through your voice. Blessings,

Vince Isner and the FaithfulAmerica.org Team
