United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona is dedicated to increasing equitable access to affordable housing and supportive services to combat homelessness. The mayor and council unanimously approve rezoning for Amphi Housing First Resource Center, thanks to overwhelming community support and federal funding assistance. This project, with strong backing from organizations and residents, aims to bring 1,000 more units to the community. Collaboration with the City has been crucial, and we look forward to continuing these efforts. A special shout-out to Liz Cozzi, AVP Community Development, who delivered United Way's letter of support alongside representatives from PCOA, Living Streets Alliance, Old Pueblo Community Services, Tucson Alliance for Housing Justice, and community residents, who were all in favor of the project.

Our Vision: A community where every child receives a high-quality education from birth to career, every adult has the opportunity to thrive financially and, in the workplace, and every older person can retire and age with dignity and independence. Our History: This year we are proud to celebrate our 100 year anniversary, a century of service at United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona has taught us many things and one of the most critical is that this work is too important to do alone – we must take a united approach. And it is the past, specifically the past century of service, that United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona celebrates today, for it was in 1922, established as the Community Chest of Tucson. After 100 years we are not only still here but we are engaging in more collaboratively driven work than ever in our community thanks to the generous volunteers, donors, board members, staff, and other stakeholders who have willingly, and ably, served through the years. Because of their dedication we have created stories of positive transformations in the lives of millions. Today we are proud to actively work with more than 80 non-profit agencies, surrounding cities and municipalities in three counties, dozens of local, regional, and national foundations, and hundreds of business and educational entities. Building a Thriving Community by Uniting People, Ideas, and Resources. #StrongerUnited #LiveUnited

Today, the United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona offices are closed for Juneteenth as we celebrate and honor this day, 156 years ago, when chattel slavery came to an end. For more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, over 250,000 Black people in Confederate-controlled Texas remained enslaved. It was only on June 19, 1865, with the arrival of Union troops in Galveston, that their enslavement ended. Today is a day to honor the culture and history of Black Americans and reflect on how we as a nation can do better. #Juneteenth #HonorHistory #UnitedWayTucson #tucson
