Interfaith group unites to help the homeless
Kudos to the Greensboro Cooperative Housing Association for introducing a cooperative model for providing shelter for the homeless (“Homeless housing co-op launched,” March 26).
Back in 1997, a few local folks from several area churches began cooperating to provide shelter and compassionate care for homeless children and their families. Today, that group, Guilford Interfaith Hospitality Network (GIHN), provides case-management services for its guests and formally coordinates the cooperative volunteer efforts of 55 local faith communities and churches around two day centers in Greensboro and High Point.
Unity of purpose and the spirit of cooperation knit together 140 similar networks in 39 states. For more information on the local network and for opportunities to help, visit www.GIHN.org or call 574-0333.
