"Everyone has had to bear the burden of balancing the budget, and we took our share of cuts; the sector is still dealing with cuts." said Santiago, a former State Representative from O'ahu's North Shore. "There are still needs that are growing in the community."

| PHOCUSED is patterning itself after PAFCO, Protecting Arizona's Family Coalition, a nonprofit started by Tim Schmaltz. Debbie Shimizu invited Schmaltz to Hawaii to lead a workshop at the Capitol in 2007 and asked Santiago to attend. Schmaltz's success, coupled with Santiago's connections in the social services sector as a representative from 1990 to 2000 (and former chair of the Committee on Health), inspired him to resurrect efforts in Hawaii. "The Arizona governor calls Schmaltz when making decisions," says Shimizu. "We hope to be in the same position someday." | | |
