There is very little affordable housing in our area. There is an "Apostle Project", so named because 12 churches in the area are uniting to build 4 houses in Grover Beach City. Earlier in the month our choir joined with the Santa Ynes Chorale and put on a concert at St. Barnabas to raise funds for the project. St. Barnabas is one of the 12 churches involved in the project. The choir/organist at St. Barnabas is also the director of the Santa Ynes Chorale. They raised $2,500 that evening from a combination of ticket sales and a silent auction. It will take a while at this rate to raise all the money needed. If memory serves me it costs about $80,000 to buy all the materials to build a house.
