WASHINGTON — The United Way of America, alarmed at the nation’s fraying safety net, will announce today that it will direct its giving toward ambitious 10-year goals that would cut in half the high school dropout rate and the number of working families struggling financially.
The nonprofit organization also wants to increase by one- third the number of youths and adults considered healthy.
The announcement comes as it releases a report detailing a precipitous decline in key education, personal-finance and health indicators.
