Nearly 40 percent of households in our region live in liquid asset poverty, which means they do not have enough savings on hand to support oneself or their family at the poverty level for three months in the event of a job loss or other financial emergency.
Our Network works to increase the number of Sacramento region households that are asset-secure through innovative partnerships, programs and policies that reduce economic insecurity by building financial stability and success.
United Way became the lead convener of the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading in 2014. The Campaign for Grade-Level Reading is a nationwide initiative dedicated to empowering young children to read at grade-level by the end of the third grade.
Research shows that proficiency in reading by the end of third grade enables students to shift from learning to read to reading to learn, and to master the more complex subject matter they encounter in the fourth grade curriculum.
