Reducing Poverty...one household at a timeCatholic Charities helps individuals who are experiencing hardship with immediate needs and empower them with the guidance and tools for a successful future. We work individually with families to provide ongoing support as they work towards goals they set for themselves, determining their eligibility for assistance, and helping them get connected to much-needed services. Our goal is to ensure families get connected to community resources they are eligible for first so that we are good stewards of our funds and can help more people who aren't eligible to receive help elsewhere, or those who fall through the cracks. -

Latoya's story
Latoya received Case Management support from Catholic Charities and was able to stay in her home with her children and avoid being homeless. Please listen to her story as she talks about her experience and her future goals.
Last year, Catholic Charities provided over 700 households assistance through our Poverty Reduction program. Case Managers helped 131 families who had eviction notices avoid being kicked out of their homes.

POVERTY AWARENESS
ALICE, an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Cons
trained, Employed, is a new way of defining and understanding the struggles of households that earn above the Federal Poverty Level, but not enough to afford a bare-bones household budget. For far too many families, the cost of living outpaces what they earn. These households struggle to manage even their most basic needs - housing, food, transportation, child care, health care, and necessary technology.
When funds run short, cash-strapped households are forced to make impossible choices, such as deciding between quality child care or paying the rent, filling a prescription, or fixing the car. These short-term decisions have long-term consequences not only for ALICE families but for all of us.CLICK HERE to learn more

"Poverty is not a catchphrase—it is a serious reality that many are living. Over 37 million people live below the poverty line in the United States. Our faith challenges us to respond to the needs of those who are most vulnerable." - Catholic Campaign for Human Development
