COVID-19 Hit as Record Number of ALICE Families Were Priced Out of Survival  When COVID-19 hit, nearly 180,000 households were already one emergency away from financial ruin — a 10-year record high — setting the stage for the unprecedented economic impact of the crisis, according to the state’s latest ALICE Report. Over the last decade, Idaho’s low-income families systematically lost buying power and financial stability as the high cost of essentials outpaced wages, driving the number of ALICE households to rise 86% by 2018, the report shows.
