2019 COMMUNITY SURVEY

With over 100 participants in last year's survey, United Way of Hernando County was able to further their on-going goal of sharpening the focus of their investments and truly target Hernando County's greatest needs. 

United Way would like to hear from YOU to openly discuss the barriers and needs our community faces. Please answer the 14 questions listed below.
1.Which county do you reside in?
2.How familiar are you with the activities of United Way of Hernando County?
3.Which of the following United Way Outreach Programs have you heard of, used, or volunteered for? Check all that apply.
4.In addition to United Way providing a multitude of Outreach Programs, they also provide financial support to local programs that fall under these initiatives: Health, Education, Financial Stability, and Basic Need/Crisis Prevention. Which of the following funded United Way Partners have you heard of, used their services, or volunteered with? Check all that apply.
5.Do you consider yourself a part of the ALICE population?

(ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. It represents a population of people who are working but whose salaries do not match Hernando's general cost of living. Basic costs like housing, food and gas can be difficult when one unexpected expense, like a car repair or medical bill, can tip them over into financial crisis.)
