Access to a total of $9,000 — which Oakland families can use however they’d like — is life-changing and a bridge away from debt-inducing cycles.
— a partnership formed to fulfill Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf’s pledge to bring a guaranteed income program to the city.
To ensure a fair and equitable selection process, the 600 participating households in the Oakland Resilient Families pilot were chosen through two random lotteries of eligible applicants — one lottery for each phase. Phase 2 participants were selected last month. That phase was open to anyone who lives in Oakland, has a child living in the home, and an annual household income of no more than 138% of the Federal Poverty Line.
The mayor's office said the purpose of keeping the geographic footprint small is to examine the impact direct cash has not only on individual households, but on the broader community, too.
