ALICE
In Connecticut, 1-in-4 households have earnings that exceed the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) but fall short of a basic cost of living threshold. We call these households ALICE—an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed.
United Way of Connecticut advocates to make life better for ALICE.
