General information

The Arizona Department of Economic Security is Your Partner for a Stronger Arizona.

DES works with families, community organizations, advocates and state and federal partners to realize our collective vision that every child, adult, and family in the state of Arizona will be safe and economically secure.

DES works to promote enhanced safety and well-being for Arizonans by focusing on four primary goals:

- Serve Arizonans with integrity, humility and kindness;
- Support Arizonans to reach their potential through social services that train, rehabilitate, and connect them with job creators;
- Provide temporary assistance to Arizonans in need while they work toward greater self-sufficiency; and,
- Provide children with food, health care, and parental financial support; provide services to individuals with disabilities; and protect the vulnerable by investigating allegations of abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
