ESMS Students Call for Affordable Housing
ESMS Students Speak at Press Conference for New Housing Unit on our Block
"Affordable housing helps the community and aids families during hard times," said East Side Middle School student Jack Zimmerman. "It is a dream to many people and we support that dream."
Women in Need, a non-profit agency that houses and provides social services for families, will soon offer safe apartments to single women with children until they can get back on their feet. This initiative has been supported by the ESMS Student Council, whose members joined community leaders in announcing the new housing. View the entire press conference or read the DNAinfo article.
