Equitable Access to Social Services for Everyone
EASSE identifies and addresses barriers that prevent Mississippians, especially those most vulnerable, from accessing the public benefits they need.
Through research, evaluation, community engagement, and advocacy, we work to transform state-administered programs like Medicaid, CHIP, TANF, SNAP, and childcare payment assistance. Our goal is to drive policy reform, empower communities, and raise public awareness of inequities that undermine social and economic well-being across the state.
