We are thrilled to welcome Denise Sanders to our team, filling the role of Chief Compliance Officer. With over 30 years' experience working at DSS (Department of Social Services), as both a Principal and Senior Social Welfare Examiner, she brings a wealth of knowledge in the inner workings of government benefits, most especially:

  • SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)

  • HEAP (Home Energy Assistance Program)

  • TA (Temporary Assistance)

  • Emergency TA

  • and Medicaid. 

Government support remains complex and difficult to navigate, and we are committed to lowering the barriers of entry for all of our clients, so they can access all of the support they need to get back on their feet and back into society.
