Catholic Community Services outlines programs, reach and Polk County focus

Josh Graves, executive director of Catholic Community Services, presented the organization's 2025 annual report and emphasized services in Polk County. "In front of you, you have our, 2025 annual report," Graves said, and he told commissioners the organization "serve[s] about 5,000 people annually in 10 counties, Polk, Marion, Yamhill..." Graves outlined programs active in Polk County — community health workers, resident services at Southtowne Apartments, the Integrated Services Network (IDD brokerage), Rainbow Lodge youth respite, and White Oak affordable housing — and invited commissioners to tour facilities.
