Serving those most in need

Over half of our clients have been in the U.S. for 10+ years. They’re parents, family members, and hard-working Arizonans.

  • Migrated from around the world

  • Income below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines

  • Survived trauma and violence

  • Members of LGBTQ+ and other vulnerable populations

  • Face imminent deportation

Transparent assessments

PLAN believes in regular and transparent program assessment. In the summer of 2022, we surveyed current and former clients in four different languages (English, Spanish, Dari/Farsi, and French) about their experience with us.

91% of our clients participated in the assessment. We’re honored to share the results.

Our 2023 assessment is underway. Check back later for updates.
