financial stability
United Way's work is focused on helping families and individuals achieve financial stability and a sustainable quality of life.
With the right tools, families can achieve what we all want: good jobs with good wages, safe and affordable housing, success for our children and financial stability.
Services like job training, financial education and coaching, savings strategies, and support to acquire assets help families and individuals along their pathway to financial stability.
United Way THRIVE is one of the ways United Way and its partners join forces to help our neighbors land on their feet and stay there. THRIVE is a collaborative of nonprofit partners plus government agencies, community colleges, employers, and other partners that work together to provide comprehensive services to support our neighbors experiencing ALICE.
