Katie Hobbs on Welfare & Poverty

	Katie Hobbs on Welfare & Poverty

Help working-class families with down payment assistance

I was born and raised in an Arizona where a middle-class family could buy their own home. That should be the reality for the next generation, too--but to make it so we must take action. That's why today I am announcing the Arizona Is Home Mortgage Assistance Program. This program will help working-class families throughout the state with down payment assistance and mortgage interest rate relief.

Combine assistance programs under fewer agencies

Katie Hobbs will order a probe of all government agencies in search of inefficient, duplicative, and wasteful spending. Hobbs will expect a report from each department on these inefficiencies and a plan to eliminate them. This will help lower costs for everyday Arizonans and ensure every tax dollar is being thoughtfully used to improve the lives of the citizens we serve.

We need to cut government bloat to ensure everyday Arizonans are able to get assistance and lower costs for Arizona taxpayers. Families often interact with several state agencies to receive critical assistance, including the Department of Economic Security, Department of Child Safety, AHCCCS, and the Department of Housing. She will combine life changing services under fewer agencies to make government efficient for families to get the help they need.
