The Archdiocese of Portland Responds to Concerns About CCHD Funding:

Recently, concerns were raised about an organization in the Archdiocese of Portland that received funds through the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD).
The Community Alliance of Tenants (CAT) works to protect the rights of low-income tenants and the homeless. They have received local and national grants through the CCHD. In 2017, their last year of receiving grant money from CCHD, CAT became a member of a coalition that supported CAT’s tenant protections agenda. Unrelated to CAT’s mission, the same coalition also took a public policy position on “reproductive health equity” in support of affordable birth control and abortion. In addition, one of CAT’s staff members joined the board of directors of a separate organization that supported insurance coverage and funding for “reproductive health services” including abortion.

Both of these circumstances developed after CAT had submitted its grant application for CCHD (Dec. 14, 2016), but before they signed (in July of 2017) a CCHD grant agreement which expressly prohibits a grantee from engaging in activities that contradict fundamental Catholic moral or social teaching.

The Archdiocese of Portland would not have supported a funding grant for CAT if these associations had been in place prior to the application process or if they had been known at the time the grant agreement was signed. None of these associations were present in any of the previous years that CAT received CCHD funding.

The Archdiocese of Portland has a strong record of supporting life issues, especially through the Oregon Catholic Conference, and it remains committed to maintaining the integrity of the Catholic church’s teaching on all social and moral issues.
