Who is ALICE? And Why Does This Demographic Matter?

Did you know that many hardworking families in the Yampa Valley struggle to afford the basics—housing, childcare, food, and healthcare—despite being employed? These families are ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), and they play a vital role in keeping our communities running.

Join us for an important discussion on the ALICE Report, where we’ll dive into:

• How ALICE is calculated (survival budgets, housing costs, and income)
• Why recognizing this demographic is crucial for our community
• Studies and resources available to support ALICE families

Understanding ALICE is the first step toward creating solutions. Let’s work together to build a stronger, more resilient Yampa Valley!

Colorado families show resilience despite widespread financial challenges, new United Way study finds.

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.
