57% of people in Huron and Perth County are living on less than a living wage.
This is something the United Way of Perth Huron is looking to address in 2023.
We spoke with Executive Director Ryan Erb as part of our Year in Review feature and he says the plan for the organization is to be leaders.
2022 was really good for the United Way as it was a record breaking year of donations which allowed services to improve and new services to open to service the community.
Erb adds the United Way also made significant headway with the Community Renewal Company which is a not-for-profit housing corporation.
