In March 2009, Seattle public television station, KCTS 9, referenced the work of Personal Safety Nets as part of its seven part series titled "Tough Times." Co-authors John Gibson and Judy Pigott were interviewed about the relevance of Personal Safety Nets in the economic downturn.

An earlier show in the KCTS 9 series focused on housing. Follow the link http://www.kcts9.org/video/housing-part-3-7 to watch this episode and see Judy at the 9-minute mark discussing Safety Nets and housing.
