928,753 households – 46% in Alabama – struggle to afford the basics
Meet ALICE: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed.
ALICE is working and earning but still doesn’t earn enough to cover the basics. The ALICE Report serves as a crucial metric highlighting households in every Alabama county that are earning above the Federal Poverty Level yet falling short of the Household Survival Budget—the ALICE Threshold.

ALICE is often juggling multiple jobs or holding essential positions, but finds financial stability elusive due to stagnant wages and the relentless rise in living expenses. ALICE is a teacher, childcare worker, retail staff member, healthcare provider, infrastructure worker, and more—ALICE holds an essential role that keeps our communities running.
We all know ALICE.
The ALICE Report reveals that financial hardship is rippling through Alabama.
Our goal in releasing the ALICE Report is to provide real data to help families feel less invisible and to find better ways to improve their lives by informing policy makers, coalitions, organizations, employers, and the general public.
Join us on June 26 at 1pm as we begin the community dialogue about ALICE. Register for the Alabama ALICE Report launch webinar HERE
