The name itself, * Jerusalem House, was chosen to reflect that Jerusalem is considered a sacred city by three of the * world's major religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. ^ An estimated five to seven percent of AIDS pa tients in Atlanta are homeless or become homeless after the disease is diagnosed, according to Dr. Joseph Wilber, medical director of the AIDS pro jects for the state’s public health division. They lose employment and deplete savings as a result of their illness. This loss of income contributes to their inabili ty to afford adequate hous ing. Wilber estimates 300 Atlantans will need a resi dence such as Jerusalem House by 1991. Jerusalem House will not be a shelter but a home.

Joaquin Navarro-Valls, papal press spokesman, said the interest has been shown by various countries involved in the Lebanese situation, but he would not name the countries.
