The Louisiana Association of United Ways released the ALICE report this week. ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed -- the population of individuals and families who are working but still unable to afford the basic necessities: housing, food, childcare, healthcare and transportation.
The report provides parish-level data on the state of financial instability among households. WWNO'sLaineKaplan-Levenson discussed this report with United Ways CEO Sarah Berthelot, starting with why there are so many ALICE households in Louisiana.
