Episode 4 – “Faith in Action: Catholic Charities USA & Affordable Housing” w/ Curtis Johnson

Opportunity Starts at Home

In this episode, we explore the intersections of faith-based agencies and affordable housing with Curtis Johnson, Senior Director of Housing Strategy for Catholic Charities, USA. Mr. Johnson discusses the many ways Catholic Charities is involved in affordable housing development and advocacy, why it joined the Opportunity Starts at Home campaign, his personal experiences from a 30-year career in housing, and how social justice teachings can inform the nation’s housing policy. As Catholic Charities explains, “Having a stable, affordable home is essential for both individuals and society. Having a home underscores the inherent dignity of the persons who live there.” Intro/Closing Song by: David Szesztay - "Joyful Meeting" URL:freemusicarchive.org/music/David_Sz…Joyful_Meeting Comments: freemusicarchive.org/ Copyright: Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 International: creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/
