ALICE in Arkansas – A financial hardship study
Around every corner and in every community, people are struggling to make ends meet. These are hardworking individuals – our neighbors and our loved ones, our teachers and childcare providers, health aids and dental hygienists, mechanics and store clerks – that keep Arkansas’s economic engine running, but they aren’t always sure that they can put food on their own tables.
Standing for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, ALICE households have incomes above the Federal Poverty Line but struggle to afford basic household necessities, such as housing, childcare, food, transportation, and healthcare.
ALICE in Arkansas research was conducted with support from Entergy Arkansas, United Ways across the state, and the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation.
