White Paper: Honor Your Father and Mother: The Devastating Effects of Poverty on Seniors

Since the introduction of welfare reform legislation in America more than 10 years ago, Catholic Charities has endeavored to be a voice for the people we serve by preparing a yearly paper on issues such as housing, the working poor and hunger.

The paper was released at Catholic Charities' 90th Annual Board Meeting held in October.
