Addressing Household Poverty as a Community

24 Jul 2024

2023 Annual Report ALICE Household Poverty

Post-Pandemic Poverty Report

In 2023, we received the latest household poverty report for McLean County. Post-pandemic, poverty has increased with over 26,000 households struggling financially. Of those households, around 11,000 meet the definition of poverty and over 15,000 are ALICE — Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed.

Meet ALICE

ALICE households struggle to get by, living paycheck-to-paycheck, often holding down multiple jobs.

Since the pandemic, there has been a 41% increase in ALICE households in McLean County.

ALICE Households: Our 'Why'

This increase in financially struggling households is a stark reminder there is work to be done. Lifting people from struggle to stability and then self-sufficiency is the why behind our mission. We improve lives in McLean County through innovative solutions that bring together all aspects of our community. When we work together, we forge a stronger future for us all!
