Financial Stability Focus Area

The Financial Stability focus area supports programs that empower individuals and families to achieve long-term economic independence and meet their basic needs with dignity.

Programs in this area focus on:

• Promoting financial literacy and education to improve budgeting, saving, and debt reduction
• Supporting access to safe, stable housing, utility assistance, and essential household needs
• Providing food, clothing, and hygiene resources to reduce financial strain
• Helping individuals navigate crisis situations while building long-term financial resilience
• Connecting families to resources that support employment, childcare, and transportation

United Way invests in programs that move families from short-term assistance to lasting financial security, with a strong emphasis on restorative support, measurable progress, and economic empowerment. Funded programs must demonstrate how they help individuals gain the tools and resources needed to build a sustainable future in Henderson County.
