A Return on Social Investment

In total, S4L families, (verified by United Way consultants) have delivered $5.6 million to the Houston economy in increased wages, taxes, social security payments, and net worth with a Social Return on Investment of $14.65 for each dollar "invested" in the program since 2005.

Skills For Living offers award-winning adult programs. As a United Way THRIVE partner, we are excited to be able to provide free, comprehensive workshops and individual counseling to the greater Houston community. Our objective is to help every hard-working, low- to moderate-income family get the opportunity to increase their income and build wealth.

The programs provided by S4L have received the FDIC Chairman’s Award for Innovation in Financial Education. They are rigorous, effective and objective.
