United Way of Greater Houston has purchased a larger building in Conroe, doubling its footprint in Montgomery County and expanding its capacity for community services, disaster response, and nonprofit partnerships.

The United Way of Greater Houston has revealed plans to enhance its operations in Montgomery County by acquiring a new building in Conroe, effectively doubling the size of its existing regional center, as announced on November 17.
The new facility spans 51,900 square feet, doubling the size of its previous location in The Woodlands. This expansion enables the organization to enhance its programs and fortify its connections with partner nonprofits. The decision comes after findings indicate a growing demand in various Montgomery County ZIP codes with higher numbers of ALICE households—individuals who are Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, and facing challenges in covering essential costs.
United Way is set to allocate a portion of the new building to a specialized program area aimed at supporting local nonprofits, as well as to provide meeting rooms for community gatherings. The facility boasts an on-site generator, enabling the nonprofit to operate as a community center during hurricanes, freezes, and other emergencies.
“This new building enhances our capacity to connect with individuals by providing an expanded hub of nonprofit partners, streamlining access to support for those we serve,” Amanda McMillian, president and CEO of United Way of Greater Houston, stated in the announcement.
Melissa Young, a board member and chair of the United Way Montgomery County Council, stated that the new facility will enhance ongoing regional cooperation. “United Way has consistently leveraged its regional center in Montgomery County to foster collaboration and resource sharing among local nonprofits, enhancing our collective initiatives.” She expressed anticipation for the opportunity to improve those initiatives with the newly expanded facility.
The United Way of Greater Houston emphasizes the importance of financial stability, youth opportunities, community health, and resilience. The organization runs service centers in Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties.
The nonprofit is set to maintain its operations at 1600 Lake Front Circle in The Woodlands before moving to the Conroe building in early 2026.
