Why is Catholic Charities USA concerned about the Federal Budget?
The policy positions of Catholic Charities USA are deeply rooted in Catholic social teaching and our local agencies’ experiences in providing services to nearly 8 million people annually. While Catholic Charities agencies work everyday to assist families with their basic needs, we recognize that we cannot effectively meet the growing demand in communities across the country. With the current recession, we now serve more low-income working fami¬lies struggling to make ends meet. The federal government must strengthen programs that lift families out of economic hardship.
