In partnership with community, we address critical needs and advance equitable pathways to well-being and financial security for everyone.
We envision a community where every person is healthy, safe, and economically secure.
We serve more than 25 percent of the state’s population across 27 communities within Fairfield and Southern Litchfield Counties, including the Cities of Bridgeport, Danbury, Norwalk, and Stamford, and the Towns of Bethel, Bridgewater, Brookfield, Darien, Easton, Fairfield, Kent, Monroe, New Canaan, New Fairfield, New Milford, Newtown, Redding, Ridgefield, Roxbury, Sherman, Stratford, Trumbull, Warren, Washington, Westport, Wilton, and Weston, Connecticut.
We operate through five distinct strategies: Direct Service, Impact Philanthropy, Advocacy, Community Partnerships, and Collective Impact, all aimed at promoting economic opportunity for ALICE households. Employing a comprehensive strategy, UWCWC also serves as the backbone for three cradle-to-career collective action initiatives in Connecticut. This multifaceted approach systematically tackles economic challenges by integrating efforts across education, health, and financial stability areas. By combining direct service delivery with expansive community collaboration, UWCWC emerges as a leading partner, strategically facilitating enduring transformation for low-income individuals and communities.
