ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) can be anybody. ALICE earns just above the Federal Poverty Level yet less than the average cost to make ends meet. With limited options, ALICE earners are forced daily to make tough decisions and sacrifices that often go unnoticed. Odds are even if you're not an ALICE earner, someone close to you is.

Founded by the United Way of Northern New Jersey, United for ALICE conducts expansive research to quantify and describe the number of U.S. households that face financial challenges every day. Their research, in turn, provides awareness to the quietly large portion of our country that faces these hardships on a daily basis.
