Summary
An Ocean City church has started taking in homeless residents, and City Hall now wants to talk about whether that's allowed. It’s a faith-vs.-local-rules fight that could land at the next council meeting—so if you care about homelessness or church charity, pay attention.

Impact analysis
Taxpayers could see added costs if the city spends staff time or legal resources enforcing local rules, while the church may shoulder shelter expenses.
Homeless residents who get a place to stay and support from the church are the clearest beneficiaries.
The church and the people it serves could be hurt if City Hall restricts the practice—but no specific harm is confirmed yet.
