Catholic Charities Agencies advocates for policies that increase families' access to safe, affordable housing, and that end homelessness. We work to prevent homelessness by providing financial assistance for rent, mortgage or utility payments; and by helping to resolve issues that may lead to homelessness. In particular, we call for the protection of resources for targeted housing vouchers, housing counseling programs, and programs established by the McKinney Vento Act. We also urge the protection of funding for the National Housing Trust Fund, ensuring its solvency to provide a new supply of housing for families who are most vulnerable.
Catholic Charities serve at every point in the housing continuum: from providing affordable housing and offering foreclosure prevention support to conducting homeless outreach. From this wide perspective, we see the emotional, physical and financial toll being levied upon millions of families and individuals as a result of America's affordable housing crisis.
