ALICE ( Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) represents those who are working but struggle to afford the basic necessities of life. A childcare worker, the cashier at a local supermarket, a home health aide, an office clerk are just a few examples of people experiencing ALICE. They are often forced to make tough choices, such as deciding between quality childcare or paying the rent, which have long-term consequences - not only for their families, but for us all.
In our community, 14% of families are surviving on incomes below the Federal Poverty Level, and another 33% are employed, but struggling to afford necessities like food, housing, and healthcare.
CHALLENGES FACED BY ALICE HOUSEHOLDS
Food
Having enough food is a basic challenge. Chronic food insecurity leads to less healthy eating and increased stress, both of which contribute to poor health.
Health
Achieving and maintaining good health is difficult. When health issues go untreated, they become more serious and costly.
Financial
Struggling to afford day-to-day expenses makes it nearly impossible to save for emergencies or future financial goals. Without savings, families are more vulnerable to unexpected emergencies and ongoing financial hardships.
COVID-19
Economic repercussions from COVID-19 have increased the number of households that are ALICE and made life even tougher for those who are already ALICE.
Education
Few means to change the educational course that places low-income students in poorer quality schools and increases their risk for not graduating high school or attending college.
