About
MISSION STATEMENT
UNA provides programs and services for under served communities within Northeastern Pennsylvania. We strive to decrease the socioeconomic barriers many residents face due to financial hardships. Our initiatives focus on ending poverty and homelessness.
Attainable affordable housing is a human right. At UNA we have established a sound program focused on securing attainable and affordable through community revitalization projects and new housing developments that provide “middle missing housing units” for vulnerable populations.
The vision of the UNA is to develop a community that fully honors the needs of its population.
UNA envisions building strong communities through advocacy, community programs, and education.
UNA works with community leaders to build bridges to ensure the needs of our residents are at the forefront of our agenda.
UNA remains focused on establishing a fair and equitable society for all residents of Northeastern PA.
We believe when we come together as a community, we build strong lasting relationships that help provide our communities with opportunities that elevate them out of poverty.
