The past year or two have been hard ones. Inflation, layoffs, discouraging news almost daily. Only you know how much you, your loved ones and your friends suffered . . . and perhaps still are suffering. And yet two fundamentally important things happened during these years of trial. It seems as though we began to come closer together. There was an abiding sense of sharing the same problems, the same anguish, the same inability to get a hold on what was happening. For years we had been able fairly well to direct our own futures, our own lives. And then the jobs suddenly disappeared. For some there was the unemployment compensation. Maybe food stamps. And the embarrassment. And always there were the bills, the pay- ments to be made. We felt vividly how miserable it must be for the millions of people for whom this “standard of living” had been a never-ending reality: the last to be hired even when many others could get two jobs; the older person on a small fixed income; those barely able to afford necessities before the price for food, heat and housing soared upward; the many whose lives were always determined far more by what others decided than by any decisions of their own. We all have shared that feeling of power- lessness—to one degree or another—during these years. We have always believed in the Mystical Body of Christ. What one does affects all. But we’ve broadened our understandings. It’s clearer now that the wound of one is a hurt in each. As long as a child cries to sleep hungry, my stomach hurts. As long as an older person can’t afford heat and fears tomorrow, there is a chill in my bones. As long as a man or a woman is not regarded with dignity, I am ashamed. While one is oppressed or manipu- lated or disregarded, it is not someone else who is debased. All of us are. And the healing of one is the healing—TOGETHER — of our wounds. We are a family of people. The Family of God. Again, a stronger sense grew that, for a Christian, rights and worth and value are rooted in each as a person. They are not a reward for winning some kind of competition. Dignity of life is rooted in life itself and in justice—not in success . . . nor is it dependent on the discretion of others. A greater urgency seemed to be with us to make a society in which every person counts, every person matters, every person is heard ... in which all know dignity. There was an acute awareness of others: those suffering 1 the most, those oppressed by economic forces none of us could seem to control. Never in recent memory was there a greater determination to do something TOGETHER to heal the wounds of our family. All of this encouraged millions of people to re-evaluate pri- orities—on the level of the individual, the family, the church, the civil society. Wouldn’t it be better if we did share more deeply and substantively because it is right . . . and because it is good? Share more of our time, concern and material things to help bring about justice, basic human dignity, a really decent life for all members of our family. Couldn’t extra things be made more sec- ondary—a little less expensive recreation or amusement, a few less things that are probably luxuries. Being without them might not really take lasting joy away from us at all. Most things just come and go. Beautiful things such as one’s family and what we could make of the human family, these are the things that have always really counted. It seems right that so many people felt a movement closer to others during a Holy Year in which our Holy Father, Paul VI, had cried out for reconciliation within the human family ... as we prepared for a Bicentennial Celebration in which “liberty and justice for all” was the motto we chose . . . and on the eve of the Eucharistic Congress with its theme: “The Eucharist and the Hungers of the Human Family;” hunger for God, hunger for life, hunger for food, for dignity, for love—for each other. 2 But another, equally significant thing happened during those years. Amidst difficult economics, uncertainty and less security we as a people shared more of what we had left than probably anyone would have predicted. The response to the tragedies in Africa, Bangladesh and Honduras brought over $8.5 million in spontaneous contributions to Catholic Relief Services alone from people who had less to spend than in past years. The response to the Bishops’ Welfare Emergency Relief Fund last Lent was prob- ably the greatest in its 30-year history! The contributions you made to the Campaign for Human Development last year repre- sented a dramatic increase of almost 10 per cent over the pre- vious year. It was higher than the average of the four preceding years and second only to the initial year of 1970. The same fact is reported by similar groups whose goal is also to bring us closer together—poor and not as poor, hurt and less hurt, strong and perhaps weaker—together in justice, in charity, in dignity, in friendship, in HOPE. It is extremely encouraging that these hard times have not made hard hearts . People have been more willing than ever to share what they had. When it became necessary to cut back on something, it wasn’t on the help one had previously been giving to those who were suffering the most; it was on some- thing for oneself, something one could live without . . . the kind of things we lived without just a few years ago anyway. What does all this have to do with the Campaign for Human Development in 1975? Hope for a “successful appeal” again this 3 year? Partially—oh yes, sure. That would be tremendous because of the impact on those whose lives are touched by the projects funded by the Campaign. Since its beginning in 1970, over $37 million have made possible the funding of some 900 projects by the National Campaign—and hundreds more by the one-fourth of the collection which remains in the dioceses: to make choices possible and to make dreams become realities. Some of the projects didn’t succeed. That was to be expected. But most did. That’s not surprising, really, since we are able to fund only about one out of every 10 applications. Yes, it would be good to be able to change tomorrow into a new life for twice as many people . . . people who look to the Campaign with so much hope. It would be good for all of us—who are not our brother’s keeper ... but our brother’s brother. The full list of all such projects funded in the last two years and a summary of those funded in the previous three years (these were listed individually in the 1974 Progress Report) follows on these pages. 4 5 6 Through the annual collection taken up in Catholic parishes throughout the country, on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, the Campaign is enabled to fund economic and community develop- ment projects in every part of the country. One fourth of the money remains in the diocese in which it is collected and is used to fund local self-help projects. The remaining three-fourths of the collec- tion goes to the CHD headquarters in Washington, D.C., and is allocated as seed money to community development programs across the nation. Each grant is to be used by the community receiving it to change the lives of people and the institutions that affect their lives. The funded projects focus on economic or social development, educa- tion, health care, legal assistance, communications and housing. The average grant for a project is $30,000-$40,000. In each case, the goal of CHD is to help build human community, based on the principles of self-determination and eventual self-sufficiency. Applications are evaluated annually by a professional staff, by local diocesan CHD committees and by a 40-member National Committee of bishops, priests, religious laymen and laywomen. The latter group is representative of all major ethnic and racial communities; members are chosen for their experience in working with the poor. Out of hundreds of successful projects, here are just a few examples of the kinds of things we have made possible TOGETHER . . . a few symbols of what we can do tomorrow TOGETHER. 7 The Alabama State Tenants Organization (Birmingham, Alabama) • Federation of 35 local tenants unions formed to combat the social ills now affecting housing. Established to provide local residents with the necessary means to correct the injustices committed by absentee land- lords and speculators. By preparing the residents with the needed tools, decent, affordable housing will emerge (thus ending years of repression and exploitation). ASTO is working to build a centralized coalition of local community unions to advocate and represent the political, social and economic interests of tenants and small homeowners in regional, state and local forums. ASTO reinforces and supports local community unions by providing organizational training together with legal and technical assistance. With a grant of $30,000, ASTO has developed into a state agency “for the people.” The Black Belt Community Health Program (Epes, Alabama) • Conceived and implemented by local residents from 11 communities situated in rural Southwest Alabama. Each community has its own health council, united under the auspices of the Federation of Southern Cooperatives; however, the 11 representa- tives from the adjoining communities are the chief architects of the health facility. In addition to providing badly needed ambulatory services, the Center will introduce a preventive health care program that will provide educa- tional courses to raise the awareness of the local residents. Other key features of the program include: implementation of a sliding fee scale, which will be based on a patient’s ability to pay; the use of paraprofessionals to greatly extend service in the needed areas; imple- mentation of a prepaid plan for families together with the introduction of the third party payment plan for the area; continued screening and re- search into pathological conditions adversely affecting the communities. With financial assistance from the Campaign for Human Development in the sum of $48,000, the Black Belt Community Health Center is a dream come true for these 11 communities. La Tierra Nueva Cooperative (Del Rey, California) • Forty campesino (farm worker) families collectively own and work this 60-acre agricultural co-op. • Ongoing cooperative management and development classes were insti- tuted early in 1975 with the aid of a local alternative college, Universi- dad de Aztlan, funded by CHD in 1971. • More formally, commitments for technical assistance have been gained 8 from a local Community Development Corporation (CDC) and the Uni- versity of California (Berkeley) Extension Service. • Several La Tierra Nueva Co-op members are also part of a consumers’ cooperative, Sociedad Economica Campesina, which was recently launched with a 1974 CHD grant ($10,000). Underway: CHD’s $30,000 grant paid the down payment and related costs, late in December 1974, for La Tierra Nueva’s land. Based on CHD support, the group obtained a $15,000 crop loan from the Bank of America and have planted their first crop of tomatoes. Economic inde- pendence is fast becoming a reality. Brothers Redevelopment, Inc. (Denver, Colorado) • Offers planning and technical assistance free of charge to homeown- ers who can’t afford commercial home repair. The self-help concept is a requirement in this housing program. Property owner buys materials and necessary permits, and works with volunteers to provide the manual labor. Free counsel on available loans and government assistance programs are offered by BRI. BRI has expanded from the cooperation of three men, Manuel Martinez, Joe Giron and Otto Winter in 1969, to include hundreds of people who contribute their time and talents in a cooperative effort. As BRI grew, CHD contributed $110,000. The project has now repaired more than 125 homes. Many other religious denominations have also contributed to this project, and last year the State of Colorado recognized the worth of this self-help program with a $50,000 grant. 9 People’s Health Center (Freeport, Illinois) • A center for aggressive education about the rights of every citizen to proper health care. • Launching point for getting poor and minority persons on local boards and commissions that make public policy decisions concerning health care services. Small clinic provides some of the medical services being withheld by existing health care facilities for the poorest and medically uncared for residents in this northern Illinois rural community—people who cannot afford the present day costs of basic medical services. Results to date: Minority and low income persons now clearly view their health services as a right, hence they are trying to get a major hos- pital to recognize the present small clinic of PHC as a “branch” and help provide financial support. CHD has supported the PHC with $78,600 in 1974. The Federation of Maine Cooperatives (Topsham, Maine) • Formed to coordinate and promote the development of cooperatives through coordination of purchases and transportation from regional suppliers. • Offers funds and guidance for education, training and technical assist- ance for members. The Federation is composed of approximately 40 cooperatives and buy- ing clubs located throughout the predominantly rural state of Maine. In addition, the Federation is working with community action programs, Na- tive American Tribal Planning Councils, labor groups, and 40 buying coop- eratives which are not Federation members. Approximately 15,000 to 20,000 people are served by the Federation and its services. The Federation-produced newspaper, The Cultivator, provides a vehicle for internal communication among members. Two thousand five-hundred dollars of the $37,000 (1974) CHD grant is being used for a revolving loan fund from which co-op members can borrow in the amount of their food stamp orders. The Neighborhood Uniting Project (Mt. Rainier, Maryland) • Established to support existing organizations dealing with social problems. • Provides technical assistance and power to Mt. Rainier residents to confront economic and social institutions which are making all deci- sions affecting their lives. The major body of constituents of NUP are the “hidden poor,” those persons on fixed incomes averaging between $1,500 and $3,000 annually. NUP has been and continues to be instrumental in such instances as the right to free checking accounts for the elderly, rides costing only 10 cents to medical and shopping facilities for the elderly, and a much-needed outreach clinic. CHD made a grant of $25,000 to NUP to continue its program of help- ing the residents in the Mt. Rainier, Maryland, area. United Peoples, Inc. (Framingham, Massachusetts) • Union of 400 low and moderate income families, joined together to involve the community in important issues, governmental processes and decisions. • Sponsors lead poisoning screening programs, para-legal services, class action suits, tenant organizing and housing code enforcement. • Emphasizes dissemination of testimonies at state legislative hearings; participates in Governor’s conferences and advisory board meetings; prepares news articles and a monthly newsletter. Through its resourcefulness and vigorous activity, United Peoples has become a respected “people’s advocate” within the state of Massa- chusetts. Organization For A Better Rice County (Faribault, Minnesota) • Rural and small town residents of Rice County, Minnesota, organized around OBRC to overcome their poverty and self-perpetuating frustra- tions. • Recent OBRC challenges to the appeals systems of several welfare offices have been so succssful that several county welfare offices are practicing closer adherence to legal procedures, to the advantage of rural residents. 11 • OBRC has developed a strong advocacy program, especially in the field of housing. The coalition is attempting to make housing repairs manda- tory under state laws and to secure legal assistance for cases of illegal evictions. • Result: OBRC Director Phyllis Hanson’s eloquent statement describes the slow but invaluable progress made by OBRC: “It takes time to gain knowledge from books and papers. The rolling wheels of poverty do not allow us this time. Knowledge is the only way to bring social change to the poor peacefully. If we split this learning time, and pass it on to an- other, we will have change. We will demand it once we know how to demand it. Our fear leaves us as we grow in knowledge and numbers. We are respected because we stand for a just cause, and we have re- gained our self-respect.” Bootheel Area Of Missouri (Southeastern Missouri) • A five-year cooperative effort of six rural counties, paralyzed into “devel- opment limbo” by generations-old poverty in southeastern Missouri. • Established the first community controlled and managed financial insti- tutions (a credit union) in the area, providing savings, loans and financial counseling to over 900 black and white low-income members and their families. • Started the first community-controlled legal aid program providing legal assistance to low-income people in the areas of welfare, consumer af- fairs, housing litigation, employment discrimination and law reform. • Built the first black community owned and managed supermarket in Missouri serving 275 families. • Began a vegetable producing and marketing cooperative which enables about 90 low-income black families to substantially increase their incomes. With little help from state, county or federal agencies these and other community programs are succeeding because of their own self-determina- tion and as a result of technical and financial assistance provided by the Missouri Delta Ecumenical Ministries, CHD and other church and private organizations. Center For Rural Affairs (Walthill, Nebraska) • To provide support for rural organizing to affect public decisions rele- vant to small family farms in Nebraska is the goal of CRA. • Through technical assistance, education and research, the center is assisting rural action groups to inform Nebraskans of the social, eco- nomic and ecological impact of the influx of large corporate franchise farms into Nebraska. Their research on corporate control of the hog production industry clearly illustrated the potentially disastrous economic and ecological 12 impact on the small farmer and gained them national recognition. With the assistance of the Center, coalitions of private citizens, church people and public officials are developing in order to work for new state legislation to control such corporate activities that threaten the social and economic fabric of rural communities. With CHD support in the amount of $50,000 and with financial assist- ance of other church denominations, public and private sources, the Center for Rural Affairs has established itself as an effective advocate for small farmers in Nebraska. Poor People Pulling Together (Las Vegas, Nevada) • An organization of black urban dwellers, mostly residents of low- income housing projects, which has been attacking problems of inade- quate housing since 1972. • Efforts include action on public housing, minority hiring, tenants’ rights, fair housing code violations and landlord/public agency compliance with zoning and land use regulations. Assistance is volunteered by clergy, attorneys, civic women’s groups and other concerned citizens. • Informal but ongoing educational and counselling program offered for tenants and welfare recipients—aid secured from Job Corps and Vista volunteers. Results to date: In 1972, organizing with a $15,000 CHD grant, PPPT successfully influenced the local housing authority to adopt and imple- ment a plan that ensures that no tenant in public housing may be charged in excess of one quarter of his or her income. Implementation of a food stamp program was accomplished that year, also. In 1973 and 1974, with the total aid of $60,000 in CHD funds, PPPT convinced HUD to prod the local housing authority to undertake restoration of rundown housing units. Other accomplishments include exposure of mismanagement of a major federal housing construction program; appointment of a PPPT representa- tive to a City of Las Vegas task force on housing issues; a $175,000 Community Development Act grant to establish a Home Owners Manage- ment Education center; and a gift of a parcel of land for development as a community center and as a resource of sustaining income. Neighborhood Development Corporation Of Elizabeth (New Jersey) • An urban coalition centered in low-income areas, emphasizing the un- importance of economic, social and racial differences by drawing on common problems rather than common backgrounds to form coalitions. • Use of trained organizers for development of strong indigenous leader- ship and strategy as the major avenue for dealing with the oppressive nature of urban existence in Elizabeth. Development was slow and strong, starting in the first year with estab- lishing neighborhood associations and block clubs and identifying organi- 13 zations, all the while holding meetings of leadership individuals to explore the coalition forming. Three-hundred representatives from 65 organizations met on April 19, 1975, and adopted unanimously a proposal for joint action on issues deal- ing with housing, transportation, employment, senior citizen tax relief, flooding, services in public housing and others. Ocean-Hill Brownsville Tenants Association (Brooklyn, New York) • A black urban tenant organization formed in response to deplorable housing conditions in the Ocean-Hill Brownsville Community. • Funded for three years by CHD ($50,000 in 1972; $73,000 in 1973; and $35,000 in 1974), OHBTA has developed into the strongest grass-roots, self-help organization in the Ocean-Hill Brownsville, Brooklyn and New York area. During 1972, the Association organized approximately 37 tenants asso- ciations. In 1973 OHBTA began construction of low-income housing in the area in addition to managing, rehabilitating and converting buildings into tenant cooperatives. During the first quarter of 1974, OHB organized 74 tenant associations, organized, managed or rehabilitated 18 buildings and began training 32 community men in construction work. Recently, OHBTA signed a public housing management contract with the city of New York. 14 Legal Services For Hungry Americans (New York City) • One of several projects—national in scope—that has received CHD funding in 1974 ($70,650). This grant has enabled the Food Research & Action Center (FRAC) to work in conjunction with other national and local poor peoples’ groups as the nation’s only poor peoples’ legal and research center dealing with the fight against hunger in America. FRAC’s principal objective is to work for basic changes in the governmental institutions that administer food assist- ance programs so that poor peoples’ full legal rights to receive adequate nutrition will be guaranteed. In the last 12 months, FRAC: —brought suit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture which re- sulted in the release of $278 million from the funds appropriated by Congress for the Food Stamp Program for fiscal year 1973, and had it not been for FRAC, these funds would have been returned to the U.S. Treasury. The judge in the case held that the USDA’s refusal to spend the $278 million “frustrated and thwarted the will of Congress,” and he ordered that these funds now be spent on outreach activities to bring more eligible families into the Food Stamp Program, which now allows hard- pressed, above-poverty-level persons to participate—as well as people considered “poor”. —initiated a major litigation and organizing effort throughout the Island of Puerto Rico that resulted in a Food Stamp Program being imple- mented on an accelerated basis and on non-discriminatory benefit levels—contrary to initial intentions. Eighty per cent of the people on the Island will now be eligible for benefits, which for a family of four will mean $150 monthly food stamp aid. This represents a quadrupling of welfare recipients’ incomes. Moreover, this FRAC suit served to remind the Commonwealth Govern- ment that it is, in fact, accountable. With a 1975 grant of $100,000 from CHD, FRAC will be able to continue its court efforts and to move further into its information and advocacy roles on behalf of poor people throughout the country. Solidaridad Humana (New York City) • An Hispanic educational program which has expanded through succes- sive CHD grants in 1973 and 1974 ($42,000 total) from an apartment- based volunteer staff to an effort with a full-time teacher/ coordinator with a part-time staff of 14. Originally designed to prepare young workers to take the high school equivalency exam in Spanish, the project now includes the arrangement of post-high school placements at the college level, as well as tutorial assistance. Lehman College in New York has also designed a bilingual college level program in association with Solidaridad Humana. To date, more than 100 people have successfully completed the equivalency exam, of whom 50 are now college students. A library is 15 being developed and social activities continue to be integrated with teaching efforts. For the future it is hoped that Solidaridad Humana will also become an advocate for the educational needs of the Spanish-speaking community in the New York City area. Project Interface [Buckeye-Woodland Community Congress] (Cleveland, Ohio) • A project that has been building community organizations and coali- tions for the past two years in the Cleveland area, particularly between ethnic and black people. • Sponsored founding convention early this year climaxing their efforts of the past two years. Delegates numbered 731, representing 120 local community clubs. Representation is particularly significant since Project Interface is based in Southeast Cleveland, an area with the city’s highest incidence of inter-ethnic violent crime, greatest number of abandoned buildings and highest percentage of elderly poor. This unifying force has captured the attention of community officials for these formerly disinherited groups. Projects, such as rat control com- mittee, F.H.A. Homeowners Action committees and transportation for the elderly, address official public notice. Internal benefits include expanded block clubs, aid to senior citizen groups and on-the-job training in repair- ing deteriorating housing for youths. Advocates For Basic Legal Equality (Toledo, Ohio) • A non-profit corporation created as a law reform and legal services program by a group of low income citizens and attorneys, to identify those recurring legal problems that afflict the poor as a class, and to work toward their eradication or substantial alleviation. • To date, ABLE has successfully reduced employment discrimination in the police and fire departments of Toledo, as well as in the sheet metal workers union. ABLE has also established the right to treatment for all patients in Ohio’s mental institutions, is working for open housing legis- lation, for bilingual, bicultural programs in public schools and is cur- rently involved with public utility rate hikes and urban renewal. • CHD’s 1974 grant of $20,000 has leveraged approximately $100,000 from the Lucas County Welfare Department. Juarez-Lincoln Center (Austin, Texas) • The Center funded by CHD over a three-year period for $170,000 and operating on a “university-without-walls” concept has developed into a model for graduate bilingual-bicultural education. 16 • Training students of all ethnic groups in various education-related fields (administration, counseling, teaching, etc.), the Center has been able to graduate more Chicanos with Master of Education degrees than the entire University of Texas system. • Graduates are encouraged to remain in their communities to develop bilingual-bicultural programs relevant to the needs of the people they serve. Responding to the needs of low-income people, the Juarez-Lincoln Center has provided technical assistance and training to community- based organizations in need of outside funding to initiate economic and social development programs. Through their efforts, over three million dollars of government and private funds have been generated for community-based programs. Future plans outline the establishment of the first fully accredited, pre- dominantly Chicano undergraduate/graduate college in the United States. Communities Organized For Public Services (San Antonio, Texas) • Communities Organized for Public Services (COPS) drew over 2,000 persons to their first annual convention to demand upgrading of city services to almost 76,500 Mexican Americans in San Antonio’s deterio- rating Westside and Southside areas. Notice was served on City Hall that neglect would no longer be tolerated. • Through community meetings and pressure placed on the City Council, COPS has been able to generate more than $20 million dollars in mu- nicipal funds to be used for sidewalk repairs, new parks and play- grounds, drainage and street repairs in the Mexican-American com- munities. Citizen action task forces have been formed and are succeeding in stopping industrial pollution and in removing unsightly and dangerous junkyards from residential areas where children play. In an effort to counter the “red-lining” practices of local financial institutions, COPS has organized a “green-lining” campaign whereby lo- cal churches, community organizations, small businessmen and con- cerned citizens pledge to withdraw their funds at the appropriate time from institutions unresponsive to the financial needs of the community and deposit them into banks and savings-and-loans willing to reinvest in the community. To date, they have obtained over 7,000 signatures and $40 million in pledges with an eventual goal of $100 million. With a $10,000 grant from CHD, the strong support of the San Antonio Archdiocese and other churches COPS has developed into an effective advocate for the needs of the Mexican-American community. The Southwest Virginia Black Lung Association (Wise, Virginia) • Organized in 1970 to obtain from the Federal Government recognition that Black Lung is a disabling disease of the coal mines. • Undertakes advocacy role on the Federal and state levels. • Provides training for people in the fields of health and legal aid. The Southwest Virginia Black Lung Association has demonstrated the ability and viability of local residents banding together to define problems affecting their lives. Their para-medic and para-legal programs have greatly assisted in educating the surrounding communities to the many dangers facing miners daily. The Southwest Virginia chapter, working in conjunction with other local chapters of the Association in the state of Virginia, was instrumen- tal in getting Congress to significantly improve the 1969 Coal Mine Health and Safety Act’s benefits that disabled miners were to receive. With a grant of $18,000 from CHD, the Association clearly demonstrates the ability of people to unite to overcome obstacles confronting all. Fort Lawton Indian Cultural & Educational Center (Seattle, Washington) • An Indian cultural-educational center that is expected to be an integral part of Indian community life in the Northwest. • Will include facilities for arts and crafts, theater, library, museum and an arena for events and recreation on a 20-acre site that has been returned to the Native American community. • May well become the future home of the National Indian Museum and the Indian Hall of Fame. An alternative educational pilot program is also being developed. The center is sponsored by a coalition of 1,000 Indians from 40 tribes and the planning of the program includes a large number of those living in poverty as well as others active in professions. Results to date: CHD’s $91,000 grant was used to leverage substantial other monies: $48,000 in matching funds; $48,000 from the National En- 18 dowment for the Arts; and more than $500,000 in other Federal and local governmental dollars. Ongoing crafts training and sales has strong poten- tial not only for creating financial self-sufficiency, but also for helping in the Center’s goal of building understanding in the non-Indian community of Native American concepts, customs, art forms, and to build an appre- ciation of the level that Indian civilization has reached. Spokane Resource Advocates (Spokane, Washington) • Coalition of urban church, educational and community groups, with leadership of low-income and poverty group members. • Researching and exposing “institutionalized injustices” is SRA’s aim. Active in behalf of the poor, minorities, disabled and elderly in the city and county of Spokane, SRA seeks accountability of public agencies. • Activities included during three years of CHD support ($73,250, 1972- 74), lobbying for delivery of needed social services and establishment of a training program in advocacy techniques for grass roots groups, as well as development of a reputation as a resource on target area needs and priorities. Results to date: SRA picked up the ball when the Spokane City Plan- ning Department failed to undertake the task of identifying poverty inci- dence zones. SRA documented the need that paved the way for an influx of federal funds. Also, the organization lent technical assistance and proposal writing skill for grants to 26 programs for a cumulative total of $2.5 million. These grants resulted in the creation of 240 jobs in the target area. Milwaukee Alliance Of Concerned Citizens (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) • A coalition of three community organizations which merged to mobilize ‘neighborhood power’ on a city-wide scale. • A training ground for development of neighborhood leadership from an ecumenical and multi-racial poor—energies joined to combat unfair taxation, scarce and low-grade housing, unsafe streets and lack of job training opportunities. MACC’s power base is broad enough not only to define their own problems but to produce the leverage needed to motivate government agencies to properly address these problems and issues. Results to date: an end to ‘redlining’ for all of Wisconsin. One of the organizations that merged with MACC was the Westside Action Coalition. In order to stop the deterioration of the Westside neighborhood, this organization was instrumental in getting the Wisconsin state legislature to outlaw “redlining” , the practice whereby lending institutions refuse to make home construction and home improvement loans to individuals in a specific geographical area. Low and moderate income people all over Wisconsin will benefit from the measure, and in the case of Westside, over one million dollars in mortgage money has now returned to the neighborhood. CHD has funded the city-wide project for $25,000. But the Campaign is supposed to be much more than an ap- peal, a fund, an educational effort about poverty and justice. It isn’t just projects and lives changed by that funding. As impor- tantly, it is a symbol of a better, richer life for all of us; a sym- bol of the kinds of things that could happen all around us if our re-evaluation of priorities continues and grows. It is also a sign of changes that can and, God willing, will occur without the 20 Campaign being the channel. Some day, pray God, there won’t be much need for a special collection of this kind, because we will have made the things which the Campaign for Human Develop- ment funds a part of our core values and budget—things we do as a religious people before we move on to things of less real imperative. In the meantime, we must keep open both sets of channels for justice and concern: the Campaign on a national and diocesan level—and the other channels “at home” through which people can be TOGETHER . . . with hope. So, we ask two things. First, that new ways be found in every parish, diocese, town, city and state to bring us together in heal- ing all our wounds and enriching all our lives in the name of Jesus. And secondly, that this ray of hope for poor and less poor alike which came with the beautiful response to last year’s CHD November Appeal be increased even more this year. May it be a great symbol of HOPE! Hope, not in the sense of wishfully think- ing about something that might be, but in the sense of realizing that it can be and that it will be. We can heal our wounds. We can make a life like the one Jesus proclaimed. We can do it TOGETHER. We are sometimes depressed by the presence of so much evil, so much greed, so much callousness. And the problems are so massive and complex. Surely, evil is real . . . and all around. It is also strident and demands our awareness much more than does good. Good people are taken for granted—unnoticed, al- ways just there. But good people are what people really are like. There are so many more of them: people of honesty, integrity, fidelity. Failing, but trying. Wrong often, but caring and sincere. We all know these people personally: our family, friends, neigh- bors. But the same is true of other families and their friends and their neighbors in our communities—whether they live on the north side or the south, the east or the west. Of one race or another, poor or not so poor. And that goodness will ultimately prevail. There will be a tomorrow in which no child is excluded be- cause his dad was not a “victor.” There will be a tomorrow in which Jesus reigns. It’s good to have been a part of what we’ve done TOGETHER in these recent years—of the strength we’ve found in each other; some giving money, ideas, time and concern; others giving the courage of being willing to try again despite heartbreaks and disappointments . . . the courage of not having given up. It was something worth doing. And it’s even more so today than it was yesterday. God bless and be with you! 21 1973-74 1974-75 TOTAL INCOME TO NATIONAL CAMPAIGN ... 3/4 of Diocesan CHD collections of November 1973 and November 1974; interest, special gifts, sale of printed materials and films .... $5,938,670 $6,219,000 CARRIED OVER . . . from previous year(s); grant money unused at end of projects, funds received after reports were printed, funds held for contingencies or special programs $ 730,926 $ 188,851 FUNDS AVAILABLE . . . for program year $6,669,596 $6,407,851 GRANTS AWARDED . . . and currently active or paid in full $4,801,012 $5,322,900 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMPONENT . . . revolving fund $ 800,000 $ 200,000 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS . . . development and distribution of materials for formal education, creation of public awareness, general public education and promotion $ 598,295 $ 550,773 ADMINISTRATIVE AND ALLOCATION EXPENSES . . . including many functions which also promote educational goals $ 281,438 $ 310,229 CARRIED OVER . . . to following year $ 188,851 $ 23,949 IN ADDITION . . . one-fourth of each November’s collection was disbursed locally by the 160 Diocesan CHD’s across the Country $1,741,050 $1,902,350 ONCE AGAIN ... we are very happy to be able to report that 97 cents of each $1.00 the national Cam- paign for Human Development received from your par- ish CHD collection of November 1973 and 94 cents of each $1.00 from November 1974 went into projects similar to the one described in these pages.
