United Way Helps Americans Achieve Financial Stability
Chronic unemployment. Financial illiteracy. Homelessness. In communities around the world, individuals and families are facing financial obstacles that prevent a good quality of life.
We’re fighting to put every person, in every community, on a path toward financial empowerment. That starts with access to services, job training, credit counseling and money management programs.

These resources were given in the following forms: support to individuals seeking housing and job searching, free educational resources on budgeting, homeownership, job searching, job interviewing, free legal services, free tax preparation, and scholarships for higher education.
