Abstract	This report provides descriptive data for understanding the status of human services in Greater Phoenix, describes provocative issues that certain populations and providers face, and offers a starting point for determining Maricopa Valley's aspirations for tomorrow's human-services infrastructure. This report describes an array of populations that use and depend on human services, including various income levels, tourists, recreationists, the young and the elderly, and discusses features of the human-services infrastructure, such as the capacity of nonprofit organizations, community resilience, and a government-employed workforce.
