UA students surveyed 272 people living in poverty … Their research helped identify trends and hopefully inform solutions … Calls grow for outside review of UA finances.
Thanks for the great write-up and photos of the student poverty survey. I have heard about it in the past but never saw it in the news. Also, did you know that TANF in AZ is based on 36% of the 1992 poverty rate? Only ~6% of people who live in extreme poverty AZ get TANF thanks to the Arizona Legislature. AZ government policies perpetuate chronic poverty. Tagging TANF to inflation and the current poverty rate would keep people housed.
