Click here to read The Self-Sufficiency Standard for Arizona 2019, a report on non-partisan research sponsored by the Women’s Foundation of Southern Arizona that examines the ability for families across Arizona to meet basic needs. It goes beyond federal poverty guidelines to show an accurate picture of what Arizona families need to survive without assistance. The report provides a detailed county-by-county breakdown of the income that families of 70 different configurations need to make ends meet in all 15 Arizona counties. It also documents the degree to which public support enables families to meet their basic needs while moving toward self-sufficiency.
