Hello, it's me, your @HoustonChron housing reporter. This has exactly nothing to do with the lack of public housing space in Houston. So let's talk about what does.
First, some numbers. When @Housing4Houston opened the waitlist briefly back in 2016, almost 69,000 signed up. Not 100,000. We all like facts. That was the first time it opened in *four years.*
Good morning from me and the brand-new North Florida Baptist College (@nfbc4me), a new ministry of Immanuel Baptist Church in Jacksonville, FL (@IBCJAX). I am tragically blocked by both.
The pastor of the church and the chancellor of the college is a man named Greg Neal, who was only not prosecuted for video voyeurism charges because the statute of limitations had run out by the time the police found out.
Here is a relevant bit of the report.
