## Resource

A new report reveals that 37% of families in the Lowcountry are ALICE—working multiple jobs but still unable to afford basics like rent, food, and transportation. With costs soaring faster than wages, even those above the poverty line are feeling crushed. Stories from frontline workers show heartbreaking trade-offs: skipping meals or medicine to pay rent. Trident United Way is launching a family coaching program to help with budgeting, credit, and income growth, aiming to rebuild financial stability in a system that’s left too many behind.
