RCUSA welcomes Catholic Charities USA as the coalition’s newest member

Washington, DC – Refugee Council USA’s board of directors has voted unanimously to welcome Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) as the newest member of RCUSA. 

Representing 168 independent Catholic Charities agencies nationwide, CCUSA is a national membership organization committed to upholding the dignity of all persons. The Catholic Charities network ensures that vulnerable families and individuals across the United States—regardless of faith—receive comprehensive support through housing assistance, food and health services, disaster relief, workforce development, immigration services, and more. 

Founded more than a century ago, CCUSA brings a longstanding record of service, convening and advocacy in support of vulnerable migrant and refugee communities. Its expertise and commitment will strengthen our coalition’s collective ability to advance protections for forcibly displaced people. 

“I am delighted to welcome Catholic Charities USA to RCUSA,” said John Slocum, Executive Director of RCUSA. “We look forward to partnering with CCUSA to drive meaningful change, and we are honored to stand alongside them and their longstanding commitment to providing safety and protection for refugees and others in need.”
