United Way Monterey County is proud to introduce Struggling to Get By: The Real Cost Measure in California, a report by United Ways of California that provides a realistic picture of what it takes to support a family in our community. The report provides a full picture of The Real Cost Measure budget. Henry Gascon, one of the report authors, presented the report and our panel discussed how we can use findings to help local families achieve economic self-sufficiency.
Krista Almanzan, KAZU Radio, moderated the discussion with Timothy Barrett, Monterey City Councilmember, Ed Durkee, Goodwill Industries Central Coast, Francine Rodd, First 5 Monterey County and Wesley Van Camp, Tanimura & Antle.
