Details:
United Way’s goal is to disrupt the cycle of instability faced by ALICE families and individuals, recognizing that financial vulnerability, health challenges, and childhood development are deeply interconnected. To address the instability cycle, we focus on three core areas: Financial Security, Healthy Community, and Youth Opportunity.
Focus Areas
- Financial Security
- Financial literacy, debt reduction, resource education, supporting economic mobility, and workforce-linked services that help families build lasting economic security.
- Healthy Community
- Programs that reduce food insecurity and improve access to nutritious, affordable food—including seniors and rural households—along with services that strengthen family and community health. These services can include building health literacy through nutrition education, expanding preventive care outreach, providing mental health support, managing chronic diseases, and increasing access to community based wellness programs.
- Youth Opportunity
- UWSCI invest in the success of children and youth to interrupt generational poverty and build stronger futures. From birth through young adulthood, they need safe, enriching environments, well-equipped caregivers, caring mentors, and opportunities to grow up healthy and prepared for adulthood. When this happens, families and communities thrive. This work includes multigenerational initiatives that strengthen family well-being and create long-term pathways to education, employment, and health.
