United Way is in a unique position to bring together our community’s resources. Based on research and community consultations, the United Way focuses on the following priorities: early years, children and youth at risk, the impact of poverty and isolation and homelessness.

We continue to build partnerships with community and business leaders and with labour, social service agencies from across the region, and with all levels of government.

The United Way coordinated "A Place First", a community plan on homelessness in Kingston. The United Way and the City are working together to implement the recommendations from this plan.
