Funding was appropriated by the General Assembly to United Community for services to families with low-income. United Community, a human services non-profit agency in Fairfax County, designed the Family Achievement Program (FAP) to assist families in reaching their goals of self-sufficiency and independence.

This program offers personalized support through a dedicated coach who helps families set and achieve financial, educational, and professional goals. Each family undergoes an assessment to identify strengths and needs, leading to a customized plan that addresses barriers and provides essential services. Services include food security efforts, rental and childcare assistance, financial literacy, advocacy, and employment support, all managed through comprehensive case management.

United Community’s FAP, in its fifth year of implementation, is consistently reaching their projected outputs and outcomes each year. During the past 5 years, 409 households consisting of 519 adults and 618 children participated in one or more FAP services leading them closer to self-sufficiency and independence.
