Nadine Pottinga of United Way presents findings showing basic survival costs far exceed federal poverty thresholds. In Warren County a single adult needed about 23772 annually in 2015, with a family of four near 24400, while federal poverty levels for similar cases lag behind. ALICE households face wage gaps, rising living costs, and limited effective aid, prompting calls for local action and new support mechanisms.
