Promoting Financial Security and Stability
At United Way of the Ohio Valley, we know financial security is essential to building strong families and resilient communities. When individuals can meet their basic needs, manage unexpected challenges, and plan for the future, entire communities benefit. We work alongside local partners to connect people with the tools, education, and resources they need to achieve lasting stability.
Our work focuses on key outcomes that help individuals and families move from crisis to confidence:
Stable Employment
Individuals have access to job training, education, and workforce development opportunities that lead to reliable employment with pathways for advancement.
Financial Capability and Asset Building
Individuals and families build the knowledge and skills to manage their finances, reduce debt, increase savings, and make informed decisions that support long-term stability.
Access to Essential Supports
Individuals and families can meet their basic needs by accessing resources such as food assistance, utility support, affordable childcare, transportation, and healthcare—helping prevent short-term setbacks from becoming long-term crises.
