Kristin Gwinn, PAFCO Executive Director, shines light on the current issues facing our state and health and human services organizations. For social service advocates, helping families in poverty is more than a funding issue. Gwinn said it’s a matter of bringing well-paying jobs to the state, so families won’t have to rely on government assistance to survive. “What’s been most interesting over the past few years, is that, while we’ve been cutting our social services and all of these safety net programs that are supposed to be there for people in their time of need, there’s been very little investment in anything to boost the economy or bring jobs or bring business (to the state), she said. Gwinn said, before turning in her ballot on Nov. 4, she’d like to see the candidates be more forthright on how they plan to bring Arizona’s low-income families back from the brink of poverty and keep the state’s budget from falling further into the red.
