Thousands of local households are one unexpected bill away from a financial crisis that could permanently impact their family.
About 7% of Bucks County residents live in poverty, but another 27% are ALICE – Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. ALICE is above the poverty line, but often struggles to cover the cost of basic needs.
ALICE earns too much to qualify for assistance from most programs – yet there is no room in ALICE’s budget for emergencies.
