blew out 100 candles as it celebrated a century of service, helping Houstonians in a four-county region negotiate pathways to greater financial stability.
United Way’s local goals will play out this year against a backdrop of increasing need in the community, brought on by the ongoing pandemic and national inflation that has made it more difficult for families to make ends meet. According to United Way’s Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed report, 14 percent of Greater Houston’s households are living on incomes below the federal poverty level and another 33 percent of working households don’t earn enough to afford basic necessities.

Our new strategic direction is based on these prior learnings and has several unique components that play an important role in achieving our goals.
