Advocacy into Action

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.
