for
low-income
St. Louisans

    Sanctuary in the Ordinary (SITO) was formed in 1991 as a
    non profit housing ministry to provide low-income rental
    housing for St. Louis.  

    The Board of SITO decided to focus on rental housing for
    three reasons:

    1. There were plenty of programs for low-income
    homeowners.  (Until recent years local, state, and
    federal housing programs were focusing heavily on
    making homeowners out of renters.)

    2. Rental units were being lost at an alarming rate.  
    (Throughout the 1990's estimates by some
    organizations were that 2,000 units per year were
    being lost due to redevelopment and/or demolition.)

    3.  Housing experts projected that 40-50% of most
    urban populations would remain renters on a fairly
    constant basis.

    With the bursting of the so-called "housing bubble" and rising
    foreclosure rates SITO's rental housing ministry will very likely
    be needed for some time to come.
