CAPITOL HILL Because of our success, our expertise has been sought at the state and national level.

“By failing to customize benefits to individual needs, we rob people of the right to be experts on their own lives and to fully participate in the process of achieving their highest potential.”

Testified to Committee on Ways and Means United States House of Representatives

“We should not design policies for an end result of families simply subsisting in their poverty. Rather, federal policy should be aimed at helping people move from crisis to stability, and ultimately to a place where they are thriving.”

Gave Written Testimony to National Hunger Commission

“How can we have a goal of a family thriving and then count it successful when they are signed up for public benefits? Research and a focus on results has to be paired with the services provided.”

Testified to Committee on the Budget United States House of Representatives

“I am not a politician. But I believe and know that safety of our citizens and the concept of welcoming the stranger are not mutually exclusive. Prudence and compassion can coexist.”
