United Way Releases Latest Data on Financially Struggling Families

Even before COVID-19 hit, 38 percent of Hudson Valley households were already one emergency away from financial ruin, setting the stage for an unprecedented economic crisis in the Hudson Valley for the next several years, according to the latest state ALICE® Report released by United Way of New York State. On Thursday, three Hudson Valley United Ways
(United Way of Westchester and Putnam, United Way of Rockland County and United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region) presented a virtual workshop on ALICE® 2020 to show the results from Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties as well as the new features to the ALICE report and its website.
