AND CONVENE PARTNERS TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR
COMMUNITY AND TO INVEST IN APPROACHES THAT MEASURABLY
IMPROVE THE COMMUNITY CONDITIONS FOR ALL.’
Dear Friends,
When we support United Way of Greater Waterbury, what are we really doing? The short answer is that
we are moving our entire community forward through better education, more stable incomes and healthier
lives. Last year, the number of people helped in Bethlehem, Cheshire, Middlebury, Prospect, Southbury,
Thomaston, Watertown, Wolcott, Woodbury and Waterbury by United Way donors could fill the Palace
Theatre 21 times over.
The answer to the challenges faced by our community does not lie in a single agency, program, or initiative.
The solutions lie in the collective impact of these, delivering results that could not be achieved alone. This
approach requires bringing the best, brightest, and most resourceful partners to the table. This includes
knowledgeable volunteers, partner agencies, the local workforce, leadership donors, foundations and more.
United Way brings these resources together to provide immediate assistance to those in need, while working
toward long-term solutions that will prevent problems from happening in the first place. That is the power
of United Way.
United Way of Greater Waterbury funds 46 local programs, supports 28 partner agencies and collaborates
with 15 community initiatives throughout our 10-town region. Together with these partnerships and the
generous financial support of our donors, tens of thousands of people receive help.
To build on our success and prepare for tomorrow, United Way of Greater Waterbury recently completed a
new three-year strategic plan. The plan, developed with valued input from our community partners and
stakeholders, will guide us into the future as we strengthen and enhance our community impact work and
leverage the resources needed to move our entire community forward.
This Annual Report is a testament to all United Way of Greater Waterbury has accomplished this year and
the volunteers, donors, partners and staff who make it happen. The results we are achieving are proof that
‘Great Things Happen When We LIVE UNITED.’
Sincerely,
Sandra Senich

MOVING OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY FORWARD
United Way helps tens of thousands of people each
year across the 10-town Greater Waterbury region by
focusing on the vital building blocks for a good life:
Education, Income/Financial Stability and Basic Needs.
A good academic foundation is key to acquiring life and
work skills. An adequate income establishes financial
and household security. Families and individuals are
strong and can thrive when their basic needs are met.
every town we serve. To accomplish this, we mobilize
the people and organizations that have the passion,
expertise and resources to get the job done.
United Way funds 46 local programs, partners with
28 agencies, and supports 15 community initiatives
throughout our region. By leveraging the collective
power of the community, we are delivering immediate
assistance to those in need and ensuring that everyone
has the opportunity to live a good life.
United Way of Greater Waterbury works to make
sure these building blocks are sound and stable in

EDUCATION
We are investing in our future by increasing opportunities for children and youth to
succeed. By expanding access to quality early learning educational experiences for
young children, we are ensuring more children are entering school ready to learn. By
increasing out-of-school time opportunities for youth, we are helping local youth reach
their potential by building skills for success.
Children who start school behind tend to stay behind.
The best way to combat this achievement gap is with
solid early education programs.
For example, the Home Visiting initiative is a strategy
that ensures children are prepared for school, both
academically and emotionally, and reinforces the
significant role parents play in their children’s education
as their “first teachers”.
•
Working with early literacy partners Reach Out
and Read, StayWell Health Center, Head Start
and Wellmore, 7,195 books have been distributed
through ‘well-child visits’ and ‘home visits’ to
children 0-5 years old.
•
Parent Surveys indicate a significant improvement
in parents’ active role in reading with their children
Child developmental assets represent factors in
children’s lives that facilitate positive development
and resiliency. The more assets a child has the more
likely he or she will demonstrate healthy development
and fulfill their potential.
• 135 children and youth between the ages of 11 and
18 engaged in United Way supported after-school
programs completed a Developmental Asset Profile
survey before and after their participation. The
results showed, on average, that youth in these
programs scored higher than the national average,
demonstrating healthy development.

INCOME AND
FINANCIAL STABILITY
We are helping families and individuals become financially stable through training
and educational opportunities. By linking unemployed and underemployed youth
and adults with career training and educational opportunities, we are helping local
residents obtain the necessary skills that will help provide them with financial stability.
The entire community benefits when individuals and
families are financially stable. We work with partners
who provide basic needs as well as employment
training support and services. These efforts are
helping a whole new category of people who are
seeking assistance: individuals and families who once
considered themselves part of the middle class but
are now on the financial brink due to job loss, housing
foreclosure, crushing medical costs or personal crisis.
•
Literacy Volunteers of Greater Waterbury offers
programs that provide assessment and training
services for adults with limited cognitive/
intellectual/literacy abilities. In 2013/2014, 117
adults came with work related goals, 34 found
new/better jobs, 25 retained jobs, 15 improved job
search skills, 8 entered Adult Ed, and 8 became
new citizens.
• The John J. Driscoll United Labor Agency’s
Employment Counseling program assists dislocated
and underemployed workers to become reemployed.
Their goal to assist clients to achieve a 50%
competitive reemployment rate was achieved for 79
participants. In addition, 421 clients participated in
valuable computer literacy training.
•
Waterbury Youth Services’ Support for Self
Determination program provides a 26 week training
program for Hispanic women and men interested in
opening their own child care business. 53% opened
their own family child care or obtained employment.

BASIC NEEDS
We are providing critical services that assist people to become more self-sufficient in
meeting their basic needs. By working to ensure all residents have access to healthcare,
housing and food, we are improving the quality of life of our neighbors and creating
opportunities for a better tomorrow.
Access to housing, healthcare and food continues to be a
challenge for many in our community. A community cannot
truly call itself healthy until those going without the most
basic of needs are given a hand up. United Way is leveraging
human, financial and technical resources to make sure help
reaches the people who need it most.
•
Assisting the 13 partners of the United Way Food
Resource Committee, whose food pantries are strained
during the summer months, United Way rallied 56
partner companies who donated 17,842 pounds of
food through the annual Stock the Pantry food drive,
providing 14,868 meals to those in need.
•
•
Helping increase access to vital prescription medicine,
United Way of Greater Waterbury, in partnership with
FamilyWize, a distributer of free prescription savings
cards, have saved local residents over $1,478,000 on
prescription medications they might not have been
able to afford otherwise. $428,366 of those savings
were from the purchase of mental health prescription
medications alone.
United Way, along with the The Waterbury Ten Year Plan
to End Homelessness, initiated the Flexible Assistance
Fund as a strategy to prevent families from entering
homelessness. One-time financial support is awarded to
applicants experiencing an unexpected financial hardship
that puts their housing in jeopardy who demonstrate
the ability to remain self-sufficient after the financial
hardship has been removed. The program is proving very
successful, with 87% of those assisted stable in their
housing 6 months after receiving assistance.

LOOKING
FORWARD
The reality that Connecticut has a higher percentage of affluent individuals and families than most other states often overshadows the
fact that far too many residents face a very different reality – and that far too many of us are unaware of how this affects the overall
social and economic viability of our communities.
ALICE: A STUDY OF THE MANY HARD WORKING, LOW-INCOME PEOPLE
IN CONNECTICUT
This fall Connecticut United Ways will unveil the first
statewide ALICE Report, a data-driven, comprehensive
research project that quantifies the situation confronting
many low-income working families across our state – in our
urban, suburban and rural communities. The Report
documents that the number of Connecticut households
unable to afford all of life’s basic necessities far exceeds the
official federal poverty statistics. United Way calls this newly
revealed demographic ALICE, an acronym for Asset
Limited, Income Constrained, Employed.
ALICE represents the men and women in Connecticut’s
households of all ages and races who get up each day to go
to work, but who aren’t sure if they’ll be able to make ends
meet. ALICE is our co-workers, friends, and neighbors.
ALICE does essential work that we depend on, and
contributes to our community’s well-being.
The ALICE Report shines a light on the challenges facing people who play a vital role in preserving our state’s overall social and
economic well-being. While it is true that ALICE has existed long before this study, the Report provides a framework that goes
beyond the data and demographics that quantify ALICE households, and allows us to meaningfully discuss solutions that make it
easier for ALICE to get by and get ahead.
THE ALICE REPORT INTRODUCES FOUR NEW MEASURES OF FINANCIAL HARDSHIP:
1. Household Survival Budget – a conservative estimate of the
costs for basic necessities in Connecticut (housing, child care, food,
health care, and transportation)
2. ALICE Threshold – the average level of income that a household
needs to afford the basics defined by the Household Survival
Budget
3. ALICE Income Assessment – a calculation of all sources of
income, resources and assistance for ALICE households, revealing
the unfilled gap between income and the ALICE Threshold
4. Economic Viability Dashboard – an index that summarizes
economic conditions that are most significant to ALICE, which are
housing affordability, job opportunities, and community support
