UNITED IS THE WAY

According to our research, 1.3 million New Jersey households struggle to afford the basics. For those in poverty and ALICE households living paycheck to paycheck, financial stability remains out of reach — and one unexpected crisis can change everything.

Thanks to your support, United Way is helping ALICE weather today’s challenges while laying the groundwork for a more stable tomorrow.

 

That means stepping in during moments of crisis, like helping Suzanne and her family avoid eviction. Or, putting millions back into ALICE households through our free tax prep program, expanding access to affordable child care, and ensuring home-based providers are set up for success. It also means helping businesses reimagine how they support their workforce and providing groundbreaking research that drives national change.

In the video below, hear from Michele, another child care provider we’ve helped thanks to donors like you.

MEET ALICE

ALICE   is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, and represents the growing number of families who are unable to afford the basics of housing, food, child care, health care, technology, and transportation. These workers often struggle to keep their own households from financial ruin, while keeping our local economies running.
