United Way of Greater Cleveland

is the bridge from crisis to stability to possibility.

A JOB ISN'T ENOUGH

New data from United Way of Greater Cleveland’s 2026 ALICE Report shows a hard truth: 41% of Cuyahoga County households can’t afford the basics, even with someone working.

A family of four with two full-time incomes is still short by $9,242. This isn’t an effort problem, it’s an access problem. And it’s why our work matters more than ever.
