City Highlight: Los Angeles
|
 Los Angeles, like many big cities is a city in constant change. Week-to-week and month-to-month neighborhoods throughout the city are changing. As we speak, Downtown LA is going through a major change. Many of the urban poor are being pushed out of areas like Skid Row and being displaced elsewhere. Many times this change results in less services and less hope for the homeless and poor in that community because of the continued gentrification or uprising of a neighborhood. |
| Philadelphia Group Leader Reflection
|
One of this summer's group leaders blew us away with an amazing blog entry about his time with CSM in Philadelphia. We encourage you to take a moment to read about the different issues he learned about and continues to chew on.

Homelessness and Hope in the Capitol
|
The story of Washington, D.C., tells a tale of two cities. One of them
is an epicenter of wealth and power, the seat of the most powerful
government in the world. It is a tourist hotspot that attracts millions
to the National Mall to marvel at monuments to past presidents and
soldiers. It is a hub of education, boasting the Smithsonian museums
and several major universities.
