ALICE represents 41% of Pennsylvanians who work, but struggle to survive. ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Strained, Employed. ALICE households include those living below the poverty level, as well as those that are above the poverty level but cannot afford the basic cost of living in the county. United Way convenes, advocates and innovates in our local communities to highlight the issues faced by ALICE households and generate solutions to get them on the path to financial stability.
Project Blueprint
Many of the boards and committees in Lancaster do not reflect the diverse populations that they represent. The goal of Project Blueprint is to train underrepresented community members and give them a seat at the decision-making table. This program also offers training to the organizations who want to address inequity at the administrative level, and be more authentically inclusive and welcoming to diverse board members. Together they can create policies that are truly representative of the diverse individuals they impact, and can create systemic change that allows all of our community members to thrive.
