United Way of the National Capital Area briefs Prince George's delegation on ALICE outreach and local programs
Summary
Rosie Allen Herring, president and CEO of United Way of the National Capital Area, told the Prince George's delegation that the organization serves Prince George's and Montgomery counties and highlighted ALICE outreach, school‑based health centers and financial empowerment centers, citing $132,000,000 in EITC tax refunds mobilized regionally.
Rosie Allen Herring, president and CEO of United Way of the National Capital Area and a long‑time Prince George's County resident, addressed the delegation on March 28 about United Way programs and regional impact.
Allen Herring said the United Way covers Prince George's and Montgomery counties, the District of Columbia and parts of Northern Virginia, and described three program pillars — health, education and economic mobility (financial empowerment). She explained the ALICE framework ("Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed") to describe households that are employed but struggle to make ends meet and said the organization relies on data to target services.
Among figures cited, Allen Herring referenced an estimated $132,000,000 in EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit) refunds mobilized regionally and noted partnerships with Prince George's County Public Schools on school‑based health centers and the operation of multiple financial empowerment centers across the region.
She told members the United Way would share slides and contact information with the delegation and thanked members for their support; the chair said the materials would be distributed to members.
