Everyone deserves the opportunity to earn a living that can sustain a family and build security for future generations. We help achieve those goals.
The goal of United Way’s Financial Security strategy is to help individuals achieve financial stability and access opportunities to improve their economic well-being.
This includes efforts related to:
- Helping individuals and families lower costs by providing financial services, products, and accessing benefits (e.g., free tax prep, public benefits, financial education).
- Helping individuals attain family-sustaining jobs that offer living wages, benefits and opportunities for advancement (e.g., continuing education, vocational training and/or career advancement).
- Helping individuals and families secure safe affordable housing, reducing homelessness, and providing pathways to home ownership.
- Closing persistent gaps and disparities and fostering economic opportunity (e.g., small business development/support).
