Charitable Choice

Charitable Choice is a policy that allows government programs to partner with faith-based and community organizations to provide social services, like helping the homeless or offering addiction treatment. Its goal is to promote fair competition and ensure these organizations can compete for government funding without losing their religious identity. Essentially, it balances respecting religious organizations' beliefs with maintaining neutrality and fairness in the delivery of public services, ensuring help reaches those in need regardless of a provider’s faith background.
