Career-building resource for low-income people in jeopardy with recent changes at state level

Career Futures, Inc. has been helping put people to work in Southwest Montana for 40 years. Representatives of the company met recently at their Uptown offices with state and local officials to voice their disapproval of a recent announcement by the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) and Governor Greg Gianforte that the state will contract with an east coast company to manage requirements for low-income families receiving food and cash assistance.

“I knew the trade-off—but me and my four children left my ex-husband for safety, and I knew what the trade-off would be, which is poverty,” says Rep. Mary Caferro.
