ALICE Update

In Fall of 2016, United Ways across Wisconsin released the ALICE Report. ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. This report contains data on every county and individual municipality across the state. It was prepared in conjunction with researchers at Rutgers University, and is one of more than 15 similar state-wide reports being done across the country.

When ALICE families don’t earn enough to support their family, they face tough choices that have significant risks and costs for their family as well as the wider community. Recently the Consequences of Insufficient Income Report was released. This is an in-depth examination of choices and risks ALICE families face, and the consequences of those decisions. You can access the report on our website.
