United Way Southwest Louisiana is calling on local working community members to participate in an important survey aimed at understanding the challenges faced by Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) households in our five parish areas.

ALICE represents hardworking individuals and families struggling to make ends meet due to low wages and high living costs. Sharing your experiences through this survey can help us advocate for better resources and support services that address these critical challenges.

We invite those identifying with the ALICE definition to participate in this brief survey. Your insights are invaluable in shaping Initiatives that improve the quality of life for those in need within our community.

To participate in the survey and make your voice heard, visit unitedwayswla.org/alicesurvey.

Participating in the ALICE Survey is crucial for several reasons. First and foremost, the information gathered will provide a deeper understanding of the unique challenges faced by ALICE households in our communities. By collecting this data, we can identify specific issues such as housing affordability, access to healthcare, educational opportunities, and transportation needs. These insights will enable us to tailor resources that address the most pressing needs of working families struggling to make ends meet.

Additionally, your responses will remain confidential. We understand the importance of privacy and want to assure all participants that the information provided will be used solely to enhance community resources and support services. Individual responses will not be linked to your identity, allowing you to share your experiences and challenges openly and honestly.

By participating in this survey, you’re not just giving feedback but contributing to a larger conversation about economic stability in Southwest Louisiana. The data collected will empower local organizations, policymakers, and community leaders to create targeted Initiatives that can make a real difference in people’s lives. Together, we can advocate for better funding, programs, and services that uplift our community and support those working hard but still struggling to thrive.

Your voice matters, and your insights are invaluable. By helping us understand the realities of ALICE households, you contribute to meaningful change that can ultimately enhance the quality of life for everyone in our community. Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences and help build a stronger, more resilient Southwest Louisiana.
