COVID-19 Impact Survey Report
Executive Summary and Highlights
With more than half of Miami-Dade households (54%) or approximately 485,000 families already struggling to get by, the impact of the COVID-19 crisis had devastating results. These households (37%) were below the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) Threshold, earning above the Federal Poverty Level but struggling to cover basic expenses with little to no savings to cover unexpected expenses or reduced income, plus households living in poverty (17%). In a March 2021 survey, 3,120 of these households (and 1,735 households who earn above the ALICE Threshold) shared what life has been like for them during this time of profound uncertainty.
United Way Miami conducted this survey in partnership with United For ALICE.
