United Way St. Croix Valley is thrilled to partner with University of Wisconsin - River Falls, Our Neighbors Place, and the Pierce County Huger Prevention Council to host a Poverty Simulation event on Wednesday, January 18, 2023 from 1-4 PM on the UWRF Campus.
ALICE, which stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained and Employed, is a population of people who work hard, and earn above the federal poverty level, but not enough to afford a basic household budget.
This event, which includes a presentation on ALICE data from UWSCV, serves as a reminder that financial hardships do not necessarily occur as a result of bad financial decision making, and will help better define the types of decisions ALICE families and individuals are faced with on a regular basis.
Everyone is invited to attend this free event, hosted on the UWRF Campus in the University Center Ballroom. Registration is required.
