As a network of more than 167 Catholic Charities agencies with over 2,600 agencies that serve more than 15 million people each year, we believe that it is imperative that Congress include the following provisions to help low-income families and children in the final reconciliation bill. These provisions are especially important given the rising costs people are facing at the grocery store and gas pump. 

• Housing/rental assistance
• Fully Refundable Child Tax Credit prioritizing the most vulnerable
• Child Care/early education
• Fix the Medicaid Coverage Gap
• Support for Home and Community Based care for seniors and persons with disabilities
