Catholic Charities’ Candy Hill says her group has launched a campaign to cut poverty in half by 2020.
[Hill]: “What we see happening in our agencies are more and more people, particularly working people, who are coming to our doors. And they’re hungry and they don’t have places to live or they need utility assistance. And it’s more than we’ve seen in many, many years in our agencies.”
As a country, Hill says, we’ve made economic policy choices that have created an entire class of poor working families. Hill says it’s both a crisis and a moral failure of government, and the fault doesn’t lie only with the Bush administration.
