Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed
ALICE represents Hoosier households with income above the Federal Poverty Level but below the basic cost of living.
Some of these individiuals may be local childcare workers, home health aides, store clerks and office assistants. Many of them are forced to make hard financial decisions. And, having a job that doesn't pay enough to cover life's expenses sometimes disqualifies them from needed social services and support.
As these individiuals and families face challenges, so does the community. The ALICE Report provides research-based data on Indiana's ALICE population and their financial situation. The original report was released in 2014 with an update report released every two years.
The Let’s Talk Community initiative represents our passion to better understand the community’s aspirations through public knowledge and insight in order to work toward a better tomorrow. Organizations and communities interested in hosting a community conversation can submit an inquiry to info@unitedwaypc.org.
