Sponsors of the legislation across both chambers include @JeffMIrwin, @TheJoeAragona, and @RepKristianG.

Increasing access to housing—particularly for lower-income individuals who may struggle to afford market rates—is among MCC’s advocacy priorities related to the Catholic social principle of promoting a preferential option for the poor.

[Michigan Catholic Conference @MICatholicConf]

This is why MCC is supporting legislation in both the House and Senate to promote development of affordable housing for lower-income individuals through the establishment of a state-level, low-income housing tax credit program to complement the existing federal tax credit.

With the release of the Holy Father's encyclical, Catholic social teaching is back in the news. But what is that?

In his new encyclical on artificial intelligence, @Pontifex "grounds his teaching in our firm belief that each and every one of us is sacred, made in God’s image, and possesses intrinsic dignity."

Heavenly Father, we lift up in prayer today our brothers and sisters who have gone before us, sacrificing their own lives for the protection and safety of others. May they inspire us to live selflessly in our own lives, as Christ calls us to do.

MCC is calling on MI to opt in to the Federal Education Tax Credit, a measure that would make substantial financial support available to public and nonpublic school families facing out-of-pocket education expenses, without impacting the School Aid Fund. https://t.co/I1t6XXK0bs
