Mae’s story shows how access to stable housing and supportive services can transform lives. After losing her home and facing serious health issues, she turned to Southwest Georgia Housing Opportunities for help. With support from United Way’s Community Investment Grants, Mae found safe, affordable housing and the ongoing care she needed to recover. Today, she is stably housed, feeling healthier, and planning for the future — a powerful example of how housing support and community investment create lasting change.
In the Chattahoochee Valley, more than half of our residents struggle to afford basic necessities. Many are working hard yet still forced to make impossible choices between rent and groceries, medical care, and childcare. These households, known as ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), are the backbone of our workforce, yet they remain one emergency away from crisis.
At United Way, we are committed to closing this gap. Our goal is ambitious: to reduce poverty in our region by 50% over the next decade. We are determined to make a difference and take bold steps to create positive change.
As a trusted organization with the capacity to drive change, the United Way of the Chattahoochee Valley integrates poverty reduction in all partnerships and strategies and is the go-to resource to address critical community needs.
