Economic Mobility

United Way of Greater Los Angeles aims to create a more inclusive and fair economy. This includes equal access to funding, opportunity to be entrepreneurial, and supportive entry into current and emerging industries.

COVID-19 shined a light on the vulnerabilities of working families, especially families with undocumented members who could not access federal benefits. Our economic mobility work became even more critical to help families weather the economic storm the pandemic initiated.

We must ensure that we do our part to advocate for a just and inclusive recovery of our economy and that Black and Brown communities have access to capital and jobs that create opportunities to thrive and build wealth. Job training is a critical piece of this.
