Our 108th Annual Conference, Economic Justice, The Increasing Divide and Rising Economic Securities, will be October 22 & 23, in Columbia!!

It is the mission of MASW to provide the leadership, research, education and advocacy to improve public policies and programs impacting the health and welfare of all people in Missouri.

MASW 2008 Policy Priorities

Our members adopted Policy Priorities for 2008 at our Annual Conference.

Help More Missourians Become and Stay Healthy through universal access to affordable, quality healthcare, including mental health services, for all people in Missouri, starting with restoration of coverage to those who lost coverage due to changes in eligibility in 2005, and through increasing state support for nutrition assistance to those in need.

Help More Missourians Keep Their Homes by increasing funding for the Missouri Housing Trust Fund, increasing protection and assistance for borrowers through legislation to ban predatory lending practices, and increasing opportunities for people to earn their way out of poverty. Read more about increasing the fund!

Help More Missourians Reach Their Full Potential by supporting legislation that extends a helping hand to those who are too often made to feel unwelcome – those subjected to racial discrimination, those re-entering society from the corrections system, and those who were born in other nations – and by supporting legislation that protects them from exploitation and injustice.
