The Catholic Caucus provides a forum for the members of the Catholic Community
and other groups and community organizations to work together in order to give
the highest priority to human needs in the formation of state budget priorities and
policies.
Focus of Activities (What We Do):
- The ongoing and increasing needs of people who rely on government
assistance and who continue to lack alternative means to meet their basic
needs and move toward greater self-sufficiency. - The lack of educational opportunities, job training and shortage of jobs that
pay a wage that can sustain a family’s basic needs. - The needs for employment support services such as child care, public
transportation and health care coverage. - Providing for those persons who are not for all practical purposes,
employable in our present system.
