About United Way of Greater Houston

14% of households across Greater Houston are living on wages below the federal poverty threshold, and another 33% of households are working hard but can’t afford the basic necessities of life. And that’s not okay. We unite donors, volunteers, and community partners to help our neighbors land on their feet and stay there.
