Millions of Americans are eligible for free tax preparation but pay high fees for this service, ultimately reducing the amount of the tax credits and refunds they receive.

At United Way, we provide free tax preparation to increase the amount of the tax credits and refunds our neighbors receive. This is one way we are working to help every person in every community get on a path toward financial security.

With the rapidly changing global economy, evolving technology, increased training criteria, and challenging life situations, many adults need more education and training to succeed in the job market.

United Way is working to help every person in our community get on a path toward financial security. That starts with access to education and training opportunities to prepare people for good-paying jobs with the potential to grow into long-term, sustainable careers.

Greater New Haven Coordinated Access Network

United Way of Greater New Haven leads the Greater New Haven Coordinated Access Network (CAN). The Coordinated Access Network makes the process easier for individuals and families to access housing assistance across our region. 

We can rapidly end each person’s homelessness by connecting them with appropriate housing as quickly as possible. With the right resources in place, we can change homelessness as we know it across our communities.

United Way of Greater New Haven supports parents, caregivers, and communities to create learning opportunities for all children.

Through a broad range of interventions and supports, we focus on improving the quality of children’s learning opportunities and expanding access so that more children can benefit. 

At United Way, we seek to support parents, caregivers, and communities to create early learning opportunities for young children. 

United Way of Greater New Haven was awarded federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds from the City of New Haven to enhance and expand early care and education programs in our city.
