The latest report from the United Way of Indiana shows Hoosiers are struggling to make ends meet.
Data shows that over 1 million households can’t afford basic needs.
Some of those households are above the Federal Poverty Level and often do not qualify for public assistance.
Indiana’s State of ALICE, which stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, and Employed, tracks the rising costs of six necessities: housing, child care, food, transportation, health care, and technology.
In 2024, the minimum cost to live and work in Indiana for a family of four with two adults, an infant, and a preschooler was over $74,000.
