Faith-Based Initiatives

"... we believe it [the Faith-based Initiative] has the potential to put new tools in the hands of those struggling daily to overcome the most difficult problems in our communities: persistent poverty, violence, substance abuse, inadequate housing, and obstacles faced by those entering the job market."
--Domestic Social Development, USCCB
