ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn above the Federal Poverty Level but still struggle to afford basic needs. More than a third of Northeast Florida households are working hard yet facing difficult financial choices daily. Understanding is key to addressing their challenges and finding solutions.
Step into the shoes of ALICE families and experience the tough choices they face every day. The Meet ALICE Experience is an interactive, eye-opening opportunity for workplaces, places of worship and community organizations to gain a deeper understanding of the struggles these households navigate.
