ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) represents hardworking individuals who earn above the poverty level but still struggle to afford basic necessities like housing, childcare, food, healthcare, and transportation. Community education using ALICE data highlights these challenges, driving awareness and action through real statistics. By informing local leaders, businesses, and residents, we can foster solutions that promote financial stability and a stronger, more inclusive economy.
