Congress of the U.S., Washington, DC. House Committee on Government Reform.
This document presents witness testimonies from a hearing discussing two issues critical to the House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy and Human Resources: insuring government support for effective programs to reduce the demand for illegal drugs, and facilitating the inclusion of faith-based providers in the delivery of social services. The hearing specifically seeks to examine how the unique element of faith impacts the structure and success of such programs. In an effort to identify the qualities of programs that are successful in addressing these issues, statements from professionals and participants in faith-based programs were presented to the subcommittee. The panelists included John Castellani, executive director of Teen Challenge International; Ron Frederick, graduate of Teen Challenge International; Pastor Roosevelt Sanders, Mission Baptist Church, Indianapolis, IN; Sara Trollinger, president and founder, House of Hope, Orlando, FL; and Rev. Horace Smith, Group Ministries Baltimore, Inc., Baltimore, MD. The prepared statements of the witnesses are included. (GCP)
