COMMUNITY NAVIGATORS ARE HERE TO HELP!
Community Navigators provide free, one-on-one support to residents in financial hardship by helping to access job training programs, education, financial assistance, and other resources to improve your employment prospects and income stability.
Some of the barriers of achieving financial stability can include not getting enough hours at work, not making enough in hourly wages or salary, a lack of skills training, disabilities, and more. Community Navigators will help you break those barriers and move towards the financial future you envision for yourself and your family.
If you are a Greater New Haven resident experiencing financial challenges, United Way’s Community Navigators are available to give you guidance.
