Phoenix, Ariz. (Sept. 8, 2026) – Maricopa County has been awarded a three-year, $1.5 million grant by the U.S. Department of Labor's Incarcerated Veterans Transition Program to expand workforce development services for incarcerated veterans, creating a more streamlined pathway to employment and successful community reintegration. "Every veteran in our community deserves a meaningful opportunity to build a stable and successful future," said Board of Supervisors Chair Kate Brophy McGee, District 3. "Veterans are highly valued members of the workforce, and adding such a meaningful reentry program ensures quality employment opportunities will be available upon release. This is an investment in the economic opportunity, independence, and the long-term success of veterans." The funding, totaling approximately $500,000 per year for three years, will serve veterans in local correctional and long-term care institutions by providing individualized career planning, skills assessments, and employment support, including training, apprenticeships, work-based learning and opportunities with fair-chance employers in in-demand industries. The program will also build on the County's existing Smart Justice initiatives by expanding services specifically for veterans who have recently been released from incarceration. Smart Justice helps justice-involved individuals prepare for, obtain, and succeed in meaningful employment through career coaching, workforce training, job resources, and paid work opportunities. The grant will fund a new full-time Program Coordinator – Veteran Reintegration position to oversee program implementation and strengthen partnerships with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) Bound by Valor Unit, Phoenix Veteran's Affairs, the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services, and other local community organizations that are involved in bringing the program to life. Until the position is filled, veterans can access services through the County's existing Workforce Development and Smart Justice programs. By creating a dedicated veteran reintegration pipeline, Maricopa County aims to reduce barriers to employment, strengthen connections to housing and community resources, and help veterans transition from incarceration to stable employment and long-term self-sufficiency.

"Maricopa County Animal Care & Control (MCACC) is giving shelter dogs another chance to find the loving families they deserve with its upcoming “Aiming for Another Shot at Love” Adoption Event, taking place from Monday, September 14, through Sunday, September 20. The weeklong adoption special is sponsored by a generous donor, Ames McGarey, who is once again partnering with MCACC to help make a difference in the lives of dogs waiting for their forever homes. During the event, adoption fees will be half off for all dogs at both MCACC’s East and West shelters, as well as its Everyday Adoption Center. The reduced fees are designed to encourage members of the community to consider opening their homes to a shelter dog and give more animals the opportunity to leave the shelter and begin the next chapter of their lives with a loving family. “We’re excited to end the busy summer season with an adoption special like Aiming for Another Shot at Love,” said Kim Powell, Communications Supervisor for MCACC. “We’re incredibly thankful to Ames McGarey for sponsoring this event. It’s through amazing community members like her that many of our animals can find positive outcomes.” This is the second year in a row that McGarey has partnered with MCACC to help dogs have a shot at finding a forever home. "My hope is that we can have another successful event to put wonderful dogs into loving and caring homes,” said McGarey. “All dogs deserve a second chance after they’ve entered our shelter system, and there’s nothing more rewarding than knowing that this has been achieved. Huge accolades to the volunteers who literally dedicate their lives to helping these dogs. It’s a passion like no other, and it’s a pivotal component to our shelter system." MCACC and McGarey hope this year’s event will once again lead to more successful adoptions and help as many dogs as possible find loving and permanent homes. To view available pets for adoption and more information about the event, please visit Maricopa.gov/Pets. Event Details: WHAT: 50% off adoption fees for all dogs at MCACC.
