Summary
Please join us at the next Civic Design Community call where you'll hear from Alan Williams, VP Design at Propel and Rose Deeb, Senior Content Designer. They'll walk us through their Providers application and share how they deliver essential financial services and tools to over 5 million families living with limited income who utilize the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Benefits (SNAP) program. The Providers application provides participants in any state with timely, localized updates about changes to benefit allocations, and details about benefits that users may be eligible for but not yet aware of, all in plain language. https://www.joinpropel.com/
