Healthy Communities
Provide equitable access through education and resources to improve the quality of living and dying for older people and their families.
Elder Alliance
United Way’s ELDER Alliance is a broad collaboration of non-profit organizations, businesses, government agencies, community partners and age 50+ residents. Through its dedicated action teams, the ELDER Alliance has established a strong system to support the rapidly growing older adult population, allowing older people to stay healthy longer, remain active and involved, and maintain maximum independence.
End of Life Care Partnership
The Arizona End of Life Care Partnership (EOLCP) is a collaborative partnership, anchored at United Way, dedicated to creating a comprehensive network of end of life care support and resources in Tucson and Southern Arizona. Since its formation in 2017, the EOLCP has already become a national model and is now one of the largest funded partnerships of its kind in the U.S. The EOLCP has evolved into a network of organizations and individuals committed to promoting quality of life at every stage through education, support, sound policy and choices, ensuring that Tucson is a great place to live and end well.
Direct Care Workforce Resource
United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona is helping individuals interested in being a direct care professional succeed in training, job placement, and job longevity.
Affordable Housing for Older Adults
A collaborative effort working to develop an affordable housing initiative that prioritizes the needs of the community’s most vulnerable members – lower-income older adults – and to create a model for community-wide collaboration. The goal of the initiative is to serve as a resource for communities, nonprofits, public and private development entities, and local jurisdictions interested in creating or supporting efforts to develop affordable housing options that meet the specific needs of older adults.
Healthcare
United Way is committed to connecting Southern Arizona residents to quality affordable health insurance coverage. Contact us if you would like help or to learn more from the statewide alliance we are a part of.
