(WICHITA, Kan.)— “We would have had to move back in with one of our families...if we were able. If not, we wouldn’t have had anywhere to go. It would have been a really bad situation.”
Twenty-two year-old Brandy Smith and her husband, Clint, receive help from Kansas’ social service agency, called Social and Rehabilitation Services or SRS.
SRS oversees programs that provide help to families like the Smiths with food stamps, cash assistance, health care and foster care. The services are for low income families, children, the elderly and disabled.
Governor Sam Brownback and the Kansas legislature made approximately $42 million in cuts to SRS funding this year.
