Nonprofit United Way would like you to meet ALICE.
743,738 households, or one in every three people in Maryland, that are living above the Federal Poverty Level, yet still have difficulty keeping up with the costs of housing, child care, food, transportation and health care are considered to be ALICE.
ALICE stands for asset limited, income constrained and employed individuals, and makes up the 35 percent of Maryland households that United Way wants to focus on based on a report released Monday.
The study was conducted by nine different United Way branches in partnership with a research committee using data from 2014.
