United Way donates to Palouse Habitat for Humanity

United Way of Whitman County awarded $2,000 to Palouse Habitat for Humanity to support the installation of free ramps for households in need of accessibility. The Ramps & Rails program is dedicated to assisting elderly residents, veterans, and individuals with disabilities in entering and exiting their homes safely. In 2024, the program completed 50 repair projects, showcasing its impact on the community. The team is on track to replicate this success in 2025, with plans to complete another 50 projects. This initiative underscores the importance of accessibility in enhancing the quality of life for vulnerable populations.

The funding from United Way is essential for sustaining these efforts, which aim to reduce barriers for those facing mobility challenges. Palouse Habitat for Humanity continues to play a vital role in addressing local housing needs. The ongoing support demonstrates a commitment to fostering inclusivity and improving living conditions in Whitman County.
