Living Well serves the entire community.  While targeted individual are generally those whose income is just above federal poverty guidelines, Living Well provides assistance to anyone who contacts us through our various programs that are offered both for free or on a sliding-scale depending strictly upon need.  Living Well does; however, currently limit available services to residents of Pima County, AZ with a vision for expansion into Pinal, Cochise and Santa Cruz counties. 

Screening, coordinated partnerships with local agencies and on-going monitoring ensure that each client receives the assistance they need, while preventing any duplication of services.
