Where is the church?

Maybe they lived in an apt building taken over by weidner which raised each 1 bedroom by approx $300 more a month. Who can afford that> Weidner has the monopoly with over 90% of the apt real estate in Anchorage. I have done some first aid in pop up camps. Weidner is voiced as an enormous problem, even before job loss. There are a lot of sober individuals out there. If nothing is done the city may have to foot the bill for frostbite treatment, wound infections and burials. Not every homeless person has substance abuse. You need to get out there and talk to people. Their needs are not different than a family struck by cancer. As someone who had 3 lobes of lung removed as a non smoker from cancer, and became homeless because work decided "an oxygen tank is ugly" - it can happen to anyone.

I just wrote a song about this. What do you see?
