Our 2025 Legislative Priorities

Children’s Action Alliance (CAA) is committed to making Arizona a state where all children and families thrive.

Our 2025 Legislative Agenda focuses on:

  • Health Care: Protect access to AHCCCS and KidsCare and preventative health services
  • Child Care: Growing access to affordable, high-quality child care and early learning
  • Family Supports: Economic supports to prevent family crisis
  • Foster Care: Less children in congregate care and more support for youth transitioning out of foster care and for kinship caregivers who step in to provide care for children when they need it most
