WHAT TYPE OF COMMUNITIES DOES CHWC USUALLY WORK IN?
If we are to follow the passions of God and be concerned about the plight of the poor, CHWC needs to be in communities which are not considered the best places to live. That being said, CHWC does occasionally work in middle class/wealthy areas in which there is obvious need – either the home is in apparent need of repairs or the resident physically can not complete the needed repairs because of someone is handicapped, widowed or has a physically disability. CHWC does it’s best to make sure – both the structural conditions and environmental conditions are safe for work campers. As a mission/service organization, serving in middle class communities (with lower rates of crime) but not also in low income neighborhoods (which may have a higher rate of crime), raises some interesting question/issues about justice.
