Accessibility and affordability were preventing a family of four, including dad who uses a wheelchair, from thriving in their home. United Way’s funding assisted the leveling and replacement of the home’s flooring, modified the kitchen and bathroom for accessibility, built a ramp, replaced the water heater, and provided both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The family can now remain independent and secure in their home , and dad can fully participate in the care of his family and community. United Way has made a huge difference for this family with positive health, safety, and accessibility outcomes. - Ontario County United Way funded program
OUR COMMUNITIES MATTER TO US
We are regional with a hyper local focus. Each of our communities are unique—one size does not fit all when it comes to resource mobilization. We work to understand each of our communities, in each corner of our region, so that we can best address their unique challenges. Part of that understanding is driven by data—ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). ALICE represents households that earn above the Federal Poverty Level but less than what it costs to make ends meet; these households still rely on many of the critical services our nonprofit sector provides. ALICE represents the data reshaping the dialogue of financial hardships, and plays a large role in providing us a complete picture of what our communities need.
37% of households in our region are financially insecure
