“We know that through the ALICE report that 2 in 5 households in Northeast Florida are struggling to make ends meet,” Winkler said.
“Historically this is the population that United Way of Northeast Florida has always targeted. We’ve been using antiquated figures like the federal poverty level to understand who’s struggling but this ALICE report showcases what it takes to survive,” Winkler said.ALICE is a research partner with United Way of Northeast Florida.

This is in comparison to the 34% of White households in Northeast Florida that are going through similar issues.
