Do You Know ALICE? Maybe you know an Alice…but the new acronym is gaining traction in Georgia data analytics. | |
ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, and represents the growing number of working families who struggle to afford the basics of housing, childcare, food, transportation, healthcare, and technology.
ALICE could be your relative, friend, co-worker, or neighbor. ALICE may also be a teacher, health care provider, retail clerk, sanitation worker, and other members of our essential workforce. These working families are in parts of every community nationwide.
ALICE households include:
- All races, ages, ethnicities, and abilities, though disproportionately in households of color.
- Family members who need care and assistance, which makes it harder for caregivers to find adequate work.
- Workers are living paycheck to paycheck and are forced to make impossible choices such as pay the rent or buy food, receive medical care or pay for childcare, pay utility bills or put gas in the car.

United Way of Central Georgia will use ALICE measures to highlight challenges ALICE households face to inspire action and generate innovative solutions that promote economic and social mobility. These programs and practices improve access to affordable housing, high-quality childcare, education, healthy food, transportation, healthcare, workforce training, and more. United for ALICE will turn data into action by bringing financial stability to ALICE families in Central Georgia.
Board members please mark your calendars for Thursday, May 2nd – the Community Foundation is hosting a Non-Profit Summit and Brittney Burnett, United Way President, will be presenting on this important topic at 4:30 pm at the Kroc Center, Augusta, GA.
Brittney Burnett, United Way President, will host a virtual meeting using Teams in June time and date TBD.
