Income

We believe education, income and health are the foundation for a good life. A quality education is essential to getting and keeping a job. An adequate income is important for economic stability. Good health is critical for everyone, especially families with children.

United Way has always supported these areas by funding a safety net of essential human services. Our goal is to also address some of the systemic issues and achieve long-lasting changes that prevent problems from happening in the first place.

Families that are financially stable are more self-sufficient and independent. One of our priorities is to increase the number of affordable housing units, which is an important component of family stability.

OUR GOAL
Promote economic stability and independence

• Increase the number affordable housing units and supportive services that promote housing stability
• Increase economic self-sufficiency for economically distressed individuals and families
