ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – representing the growing number of single adults and families who earn less than the basic costs of living (Below the ALICE Threshold).
ALICE families live paycheck-to-paycheck, struggling to make ends meet. Every hour of every day, they must choose between keeping food on the table, paying rent, clothing their children or affording the high cost of needed medications. Despite working hard at the jobs available to them, they cannot always afford life’s most basic necessities.
