Newest among the group is Neighborhood Concepts, Inc. This addition strengthens a shared commitment to addressing one of the most significant challenges facing our rapidly growing community – affordable and accessible housing. United Way leadership is confident that their programs and those of our nonprofit partners illustrate a powerful collaborative designed to make meaningful progress in addressing critical needs.
This selection of partners is in alignment with the voice of the local Madison County community reflected in the findings from the most recent United Way’s Community Needs Assessment. It clearly shows how the critical issue of housing continues impacts many of the individuals and families this group collectively serves. It no longer affects only those who live in poverty but is stretching into another 24% of our population that includes essential workers in tourism and hospitality, childcare, education, law enforcement and more. Housing affordability is an economic imperative and vital to stabilizing and building independence and resiliency among those that, today, need our help and tomorrow have a chance to contribute mightily.
“United Way partnerships represent a strategic and intentional response to what our community has told us,” said Daniel Kasambira, CEO and President of United Way Madison County. “When housing becomes unstable, every other aspect of life becomes fragile. Our own United Way direct services and this particular mix of agencies strengthen our ability to respond to these challenging environments that come along with growth, empower investments to create long-term stability for families, and build sustainable growth.”
“These partnerships also signal a shared commitment to ensuring Madison County remains a place where every individual and family has the chance to live, work, and thrive. They are a powerful illustration of how United Way, along with our board leadership, staff, donors and corporate friends, are mobilizing the caring power of our community to ensure that growth benefits everyone — not just a few.”
