ALICE - Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed Families

ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed which are families that have earnings above the Federal Poverty Level, but below a basic cost-of-living threshold.  Almost 30% of Wisconsin families are ALICE; combined with those in poverty, 42% of Wisconsin households are experiencing financial hardship.

ALICE educates our children, keeps us healthy, and makes our quality of life possible. Experience some of the tough choices that these families have to make every single day and how United Way is doing all we can to help them along the way by taking the ALICE challenge.
