In the universe of IVC (Ignatian Volunteer Corps) agencies, Living Wages is one of its bright stars. Like the heavenly bodies, it can be judged by origins, by direction, by longevity and by brilliance. Living Wages started with the conviction of Sister Betsy Hartson and some Sacred Heart colleagues in 1998 that homelessness was an urban problem to be solved and ending poverty was the key. Together with Bob Crittenden, a colleague at Catholic Charities where Sister Betsy and Bob both worked, they soon concluded that this meant bringing the poor up to basic educational levels for work, self-reliance and productive citizenship.
