Meet Alice
1 in 3 Coloradans struggle to afford basics like housing and childcare
Colorado families show resilience despite widespread financial challenges, new United Way study finds.
United Way organizations across Colorado, in partnership with Ent Credit Union, have teamed up to release a new report that highlights the challenging financial realities many Coloradans face. Created in partnership with United For ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), the report provides a comprehensive look at the significant barriers to afford necessities such as housing, childcare, food, transportation and healthcare in Colorado. ALICE households include teachers, nurses, police, firefighters and others who provide vital services to our everyday lives.
The ALICE Report moves beyond traditional poverty measures, like the Federal Poverty Level, offering county-by-county data that reveals the broader financial challenges many households experience. This data reflects Colorado’s current financial landscape and serves as a valuable tool for United Way organizations and their partners to identify gaps in support, address systemic barriers and work toward building a more resilient and equitable Colorado.
Stay tuned for the report coming January 15th.
