How We Win: Our Strategy for Community Change

Despite all the wins and progress we’ve experienced as a community over the last 30 years, poverty remains a persistent and urgent problem in Greenville County.

Our local economy has flourished, but our hard-won success is fragile. Our attitudes, power dynamics, and policy choices protect economic interests for some while maintaining barriers for others, creating a fixed underclass where only a few people can reach the middle class or above.

United Way of Greenville County’s How We Win strategy identifies four barriers to higher earnings for low-income households in the Greenville County region: Housing, Childcare, Education, and Transportation.
