WHY ALICE MATTERS
ALICE
ALICE workers are essential to the fabric of our society. ALICE works in jobs that are integral to our communities, from child care educators and home health aides to mechanics –
all workers we rely on every day. (click to meet one of 1,000's of ALICE's)
The future success of our communities is directly tied to the financial stability of ALICE households. When ALICE suffers and is forced to make difficult choices,
we all face serious consequences.
ALICE: A GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT
ALICE
Building on a project first initiated in 2009 at United Way of Northern New Jersey, United Ways in several other states joined the United Way ALICE Project in 2014.
This grassroots movement is gaining momentum in local communities across the country and several new Reports are in development.
With significant press coverage, a fresh, nonpartisan, dialogue has started about the importance and fragility of ALICE across the country.
United Ways involved plan to use the Reports as the framework for their work in improving their residents’ lives and strengthening their communities.
Community partners including government agencies, nonprofits and corporations are also making use to this new data to improve the lives of ALICE families.
