    The Arizona Department of Economic Security makes Arizona stronger by helping Arizonans reach their potential through temporary assistance for those in need, and care for the vulnerable.

    About Us

    Welcome to the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES). 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 three primary goals:

    • Strengthening individuals and families;
    • Increasing self-sufficiency; and,
    • Developing the capacity of communities.
