Disaster Relief
Catholic Charities USA is the official domestic relief agency of the U.S. Catholic Church. CCUSA deploys disaster response experts to support local Catholic Charities agencies in their work providing direct assistance to affected communities and identifying long term recovery needs. Our disaster response team – along with the local knowledge and expertise of our agencies throughout the United States and its territories – is mobilized quickly and effectively in an emergency to aid those experiencing or recovering from disaster. The Catholic Charities ministry supports disaster response efforts with direct aid, home repair, home rebuilding, health care services and other programs that enable long-term disaster recovery.
