We want to understand the challenges working families in Greenville County face so we can do something about it.

This survey should take about 5 minutes and is completely confidential.

UWGC Survey

Working full time. Still coming up short.

ONE THING SHOULDN'T UNRAVEL EVERYTHING.

What ZIP code do you live in?

Including yourself, how many people live in your household?

How many are under 18?

What are their ages?

How many adults in your household have income from a job?

Roughly what was your total household income before taxes last year?

Which is closest to your household's situation right now?

If an unexpected $400 expense came up this month, how would you handle it?

In the last 12 months, did any of these happen in your household?

In the last 12 months, has anyone in your household turned down a raise, more hours, or a promotion because it would have cost you a benefit — child care help, SNAP, Medicaid, or housing assistance?

In the last 2 years, have you tried to get help from any organization, program, or government agency?

What happened?

Why not?

We're putting together a group of Greenville County residents to help shape this work. Some opportunities may be paid. May we contact you?

What's the best email or mobile number to reach you?

Your age

Your race or ethnicity

Do you rent or own?

What do you wish people understood about your life?

One thing shouldn't unravel everything.
