United Way of Lake County's Goal for the Basic Needs Panel:
Permanently changing conditions enables people in crisis or emergencies to take care of themselves. This is realized by funding programs that systemically address the core of the problem; for instance, we will provide shelter, but impact is made when we can prevent homelessness. We provide:

  • Food for pantries
  • Emergency shelter
  • Transitional housing for women and children
  • Domestic abuse shelter
  • Disaster services
  • Homeless outreach day program
  • Utility/mortgage/rent assistance
  • Foreclosure information
  • 2-1-1; 24/7 information and referral
