A thriving future belongs to everyone. And we’re all better off when everyone has stable housing, nutritious food, opportunities to learn, and careers that support our families. But today, too many people in our community experience hunger, homelessness and unequal access to opportunity.
One in three Minnesotans struggle with financial hardship and are making impossible choices, like whether to pay for food or medicine; utilities or a car repair. They are ALICE®: Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed. ALICE families are our friends, family and neighbors who work hard but earn less than a survival budget and too much to qualify for assistance. Often, they are the people who keep our communities running — like childcare providers, cashiers, health care providers, delivery drivers — whose wages don’t keep up with the cost of living.
We connect people, resources and solutions to help when our neighbors need it most. United is the way we show up for our community.
We respond to and prevent homelessness and increase access to secure, affordable housing.
