Join the conversation on creating equitable access to opportunity!
Too often, people who need and deserve public benefits programs support encounter steep eligibility requirements, confounding paperwork, and other barriers – some of them insurmountable. We hope to see you for this in-person community conversation about how we can untangle our safety net and make it accessible for everyone who needs it.
