Bishop Sounds Alarm on Housing Crisis | Bahamas News
Description
Homelessness is exploding across the islands as Bishop Walter Hanchell warns of a full-blown affordable housing crisis, with people sleeping in cars, abandoned buildings, and on the streets—ignored by government and even the church. Despite claims of economic prosperity, he says many struggling residents are denied aid and sent elsewhere. After decades of advocacy, his ministry Great Commission Ministries now faces a “Plan B” to secure 20 acres for a new shelter, Hope City, while continuing to feed and house hundreds daily. He accuses past governments of neglecting the poor since 1973 and calls on churches and civil society to urgently scale up their response.
