Eric Angel, Executive Director

I testified before the D.C. Council on Monday, May 9, 2011, about the 2012 Budget Support Act.  My oral testimony focused generally on poverty in the District and proposed changes to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program and the D.C. Healthcare Alliance.  My written testimony focused on both of those issues along with Interim Disability Assistance and the importance of retaining the proposed revenue enhancements.
