County social services receives $90,000 United Way grant to continue Family Keys work
Summary
Marathon County Social Services confirmed a $90,000 grant from United Way to continue the Family Keys strategy and said the amount is included in the department’s proposed 2026 budget.
Social Services staff told the Health and Human Services Committee the department received a $90,000 grant from United Way to continue Marathon County’s Family Keys strategy. Krista said the grant is confirmed and that the department included the funding in its 2026 budget to help offset program costs.
Krista said the Family Keys strategy has reduced taxpayer costs and helped reunify families; the United Way grant is intended to support ongoing operations in the coming year. No committee action was required because the department already included the funding in its budget proposal.
If the board receives the final budget as proposed, staff said the $90,000 would be used to sustain Family Keys programming in 2026 and that the department would report grant acceptance and program details in future packets.
