Thank you United Way of Rhode Island for presenting the Raising RI Coalition with the Community United Award. We remain committed to lifting children and their families out of deep poverty.



The TANF program has been Art Handy's top priority since he's been in Rhode Island House of Representatives. He was a force behind long-overdue rate increases and adjustments in the 2022/2023 state budgets for R.I. Works, the stateās cash-assistance and work-readiness program for low-income families.


Thank you, Speaker Joe Shekarchi for your remarks, leadership, and commitment to Rhode Island most vulnerable children and their families.
