Dean Debra Friedman of the College of Public Programs will share the highlights of the Greater Phoenix Forward report with the Phoenix City Council during a meeting at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9, at Phoenix City Hall, 200 W. Washington St.

The report offers community and policy leaders and human services practitioners the latest data and new perspectives for understanding the Valley’s human services infrastructure and a “big picture” of future needs.

The meeting is open to the public and will be broadcast live on PHX 11, Phoenix’s government channel, on Cox and Qwest cable to all subscribers within city limits.

Her 15-minute presentation is tentatively set to begin at about 2:20 p.m., depending on the agenda.

Greater Phoenix Forward seeks to help guide public policy decisions based on sound research, objective analyses, and public discourse. It contains:
  • Data describing human services structures and functions in Maricopa County
  • Trends for the populations who provide and use these services
  • Analyses of how to sustain the present level and quality of human services
  • A glimpse of how current service trends could play out by 2012
  • A presentation of critical policy challenges for the future
