"Make it Monday" forum - Meet ALICE

Join us for an insightful presentation from United Way of Anchorage President & CEO Eric Utraq Billingsley as he shares new Alaska-specific data highlighting a growing population that is often overlooked. These are the hardworking individuals and families who keep our communities functioning every day, working in essential roles across industries, yet struggle to afford basic necessities.

During this discussion, Eric will explore the challenges facing ALICE households (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), including the rising costs of housing, child care, food, transportation, health care, and technology. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the financial realities impacting working families across Alaska and learn how these challenges affect our workforce, businesses, and communities.

This presentation offers valuable insights for business leaders, policymakers, nonprofit professionals, and community members interested in strengthening Alaska's economic future and supporting a thriving workforce.
