Asset Limited Income Constrained Employed (ALICE) – Measuring Poverty in Connecticut – Low and Moderate Income Housing
For those family units that are ALICE it is seen as a more accurate measure of poverty than other indicators such as the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), HUD’s Area Median Income (AMI) and Medicaid’s Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). ALICE focuses on the basic costs of housing, childcare, food, transportation, health care and technology for urban, suburban, and rural areas.
