The HELP Act is a Lifeline for America’s Communities
The Hill, August 2, 2023
United Way Worldwide CEO Angela F. Williams makes the case in an op-ed column that our country is only as strong as the individual communities that make it up. Despite the overall economic progress being made, too many communities are still struggling to access the basic services they need — from healthcare and housing to emergency services and disaster response. That's why Congress must pass the Human-services Emergency Logistics Program (HELP) Act, a bipartisan, bicameral bill that would connect vulnerable families and individuals to the local resources they need, ensuring all communities have an equal opportunity to thrive.
