Stabilizing Families

United Way funded programs help individuals and families grow their income and assets and learn how to manage their money better. We support 6 financial stability programs that are making an impact, including our Taxes Filed Free Campaign that provides thousands of PBC families with free tax preparation services every year.

Housing support is a critical issue. Palm Beach County is one of the most expensive counties to live in and, simultaneously, nearly half of our households do not earn enough to afford the basic cost of living. United Way of Palm Beach County funds local programs that provide housing stabilization, transitional housing for women and children experiencing domestic violence, and permanent supportive housing to keep roofs over heads in our community.

132,230 people in Palm Beach County don’t know where their next meal will come from. United Way leads the county-wide Hunger Relief Plan that focuses on alleviating hunger for children and seniors, building infrastructure across the county, and advocating at the federal level for hunger relief efforts. Since 2016, our hunger relief partners have collaborated to create unique and sustainable solutions to address food insecurity.
