OnCommunity Podcast - Energy
The OnCommunity Podcast is a series produced
by United Way for Southeastern Michigan highlighting
the innovative ideas and promising
work done by area organizations and leaders to
improve lives and communities across our
region.
The January 2007 OnCommunity session, Energy, reflects a partnership of United Way's 2-1-1; The Heat and Warmth (THAW) and United Way for Southeastern Michigan's Non Profit Facilities Center. The Energy session reflects our need to better understand the short and long term implications of these scarce resources on individuals, families and communities in SE Michigan. While fortunate to have a mild winter, larger questions remain about our ability to truly conserve and plan for the wise use of energy. Think of the large number of renters in SE Michigan, with landlords having limited interest in stabilizing and improving housing stock, as a painful example of the challenge before us.

Working Together 2006
Often we forget that finding a job is only one part of the battle. Many individuals face additional barriers to finding or keeping employment - like lack of housing, transportation or training. In this podcast Loretta, a United Way 2-1-1 partner from The Information Center in Taylor recounts her experience at the Southeast Michigan Employment and Family Resource Expo where she met face-to-face with a client that had far more to overcome than "just finding a job."
