Income / Financial Stability

Together, we can fight poverty and help families and individuals achieve financial independence. Our goal is to reduce the number of households struggling financially and live in a community where people have access to safe and affordable housing. The Twin County United Way awards grants from the Community Fund for income programs that:

• Provide education and support to better manage income, savings and assets
• Teach skills to obtain (and keep) jobs that provide livable wages
• Increase safe and affordable housing options
• Provide homelessness prevention and assistance to homeless families and individuals

For the 2018-2020 grant cycle, the Twin County United Way places a priority on funding programs that are working to reduce homelessness and improve the financial stability of struggling households.

Below are programs that the Twin County United Way is supporting with 2016-2018 grants:
