Alice in Louisiana: a Financial Hardship Study ALICE IN LOUISIANA: A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP STUDY 2020 LOUISIANA REPORT Louisiana Association of United Ways ALICE IN THE TIME OF COVID-19 The release of this ALICE Report for Louisiana comes during an unprecedented crisis — the COVID-19 pandemic. While our world changed significantly in March 2020 with the impact of this global, dual health and economic crisis, ALICE remains central to the story in every U.S. county/parish and state. The pandemic has exposed exactly the issues of economic fragility and widespread hardship that United For ALICE and the ALICE data work to reveal. That exposure makes the ALICE data and analysis more important than ever. The ALICE Report for Louisiana presents the latest ALICE data available — a point-in-time snapshot of economic conditions across the state in 2018. By showing how many Louisiana households were struggling then, the ALICE Research provides the backstory for why the COVID-19 crisis is having such a devastating economic impact. The ALICE data is especially important now to help stakeholders identify the most vulnerable in their communities and direct programming and resources to assist them throughout the pandemic and the recovery that follows. And as Louisiana moves forward, this data can be used to estimate the impact of the crisis over time, providing an important baseline for changes to come. This crisis is fast-moving and quickly evolving. To stay abreast of the impact of COVID-19 on ALICE households and their communities, visit our website at UnitedForALICE.org/COVID19 for updates.

It is an honor to serve as the Louisiana statewide sponsor since the inception of this project in 2016. At Entergy, our focus on ALICE is rooted in the economic reality of the communities we serve — we know ALICE well. As we reflect on our collective experiences through COVID-19, we can see ALICE workers, providing essential services to help keep us safe and healthy. We also know that COVID-19 had a disproportionate impact on ALICE households. That’s why we are proud to have partnered with United Ways and other nonprofits to provide more than $1.3 million in assistance for ALICE families. As our communities continue to recover from the economic impact of COVID, It is important to lift up their stories and ensure ALICE has a proper place as we all chart the course for immediate recovery and beyond. Entergy is deeply committed to equipping ALICE families with the tools to succeed while also inspiring action from businesses, policy makers and communities to build stronger financial stability for hardworking families throughout Louisiana. Patty Riddlebarger Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility Entergy Corporation ALICE REPORT, 2020 iv LOUISIANA ALICE RESEARCH ALICE Reports provide high-quality, research-based information to foster a better understanding of who is struggling in our communities. To produce the ALICE Report for Louisiana, our team of researchers collaborated with a Research Advisory Committee composed of experts from across the state. Research Advisory Committee members from our partner states also periodically review the ALICE Methodology. This collaborative model ensures that the ALICE Reports present unbiased data that is replicable, easily updated on a regular basis, and sensitive to local context.

ALICE represents the growing number of households in our communities that do not earn enough to afford basic necessities. Partnering with United Ways, nonprofits, academic institutions, corporations, and other state organizations, this research initiative provides data to stimulate meaningful discussion, attract new partners, and ultimately inform strategies for positive change. Based on the overwhelming success of this research in identifying and articulating the needs of this vulnerable population, this work has grown from a pilot in Morris County, New Jersey to 21 states

  • 2021 SWLA Projects Report: Detailed 5.28.21
    2021 SWLA Projects Report: Detailed 5.28.21 Compiled by the Southwest Louisiana Economic Development Alliance, this report reflects projects as of May 2021. Some of these projects may have been announced or started in prior years. Where information is available, we have included the history and stage of the project. All information in this report is either provided by the company themselves, from LED Fastlane, IMCAL or from press releases provided through media. This is not an exhaustive list of all projects in SWLA as some companies are in phases where they are not ready to publicly share information about their projects. Southwest Louisiana Task Force for Growth & Opportunity (GO Group) The Southwest Louisiana Task Force for Growth and Opportunity (GO Group), formed in early 2013, is focused on developing strategies to ensure the successful implementation of planned economic development projects for Southwest Louisiana. It was formed by local community leaders, stakeholders, and elected officials to identify the various socioeconomic issues involved with such projects. The GO Group aims to assist local governmental agencies in planning, policy development, and implementation of a strategic plan that identifies the short-term and long-term preparation and response actions necessary to achieve the economic and social benefits from the successful implementation of the announced economic development projects; to address the multiple related issues; and to also accommodate and support current and future economic growth throughout the five parish region. The goal of this strategic planning process is to ensure that Southwest Louisiana emerges from this growth and development stronger, smarter, and more diversified than before, and that local communities are positioned to take advantage of the ancillary social and economic development potential associated with the implementation of these projects.

Some of the deadliest tropical storms and hurricanes to ever hit the United States have struck the Louisiana shoreline. Memorable storms include Andrew in 1992, Camille in 1969, Betsy in 1965, Audrey in 1957, the August Hurricane of 1940, the September Hurricane of 1915, the Cheniere Caminanda hurricane of October 1893, the Isle Dernieres storm of 1856, and the Racer’s Storm of 1837. These storms claimed as many as 3000 lives from the area....with Audrey having the highest death toll in modern times in the United States from any tropical cyclone, with 526 lives lost in Cameron and nine in Texas. Louisiana has few barrier islands; therefore, the problem of overpopulation along the coast slowing down evacuation times, such as Florida, does not exist.
