While 10 percent of Pinellas County households are living in poverty another 28 percent are considered ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). They’re living one missed paycheck away from being unable to meet their most basic needs, like housing and healthcare. That means 1 in 3 families will be disproportionately affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) as businesses close and their hours are reduced. This vulnerable population is also forced to make the difficult choice of going to work sick or not being paid.
