Coalition of Religious Communities (CORC)

What is CORC?  The Coalition of Religious Communities is project of Crossroads Urban Center that brings people together from a variety of faith traditions to promote solutions to hunger, homelessness and poverty in Utah.  We have groups that meet in Salt Lake County and Weber County.

Our top top policy focus at this time is reducing the number of nights that children spend at homeless shelters in Utah.  Activities we organize to promote this goal include:  1) encouraging clergy, congregations, candidates and elected officials to sign the Pledge to help reduce child homelessness, 2) helping congregations to educate themselves about child homelessness by organizing Ending Child Homelessness Sabbath events during worship services in the month of October,  3) organizing a Faith & Poverty Day a the Utah Capitol during the state legislative session and 4) sending out weekly email alerts notifying members and allies about other opportunities to support efforts to reduce child homelessness in Utah.
