The Equitable Access to Social Services for Everyone (EASSE) initiative is working to ensure that all Mississippians can access the benefits and support they need. We’re gathering experiences from individuals and families across the state — whether you received assistance, were denied benefits, or faced barriers in the process — to identify where systems fall short and how they can be improved.
