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.

United is the way we help people thrive.
