110 single mothers in Birmingham will receive a guaranteed $375 monthly income for a year in a pilot program. The funding comes from foundation grants, and more than 8,000 single mothers applied.
The 110 single mothers who will receive a guaranteed $375 monthly income for a year in a pilot program have been selected and are being contacted beginning this week, Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin’s office said this week.
Embrace Mothers is a partnership with Mayors for a Guaranteed Income, a national network of mayors advocating to provide Americans with an income floor. The program awarded Birmingham a $500,000 grant for the pilot program, part of a nationwide research project to evaluate the impacts of guaranteed income on individuals and families.
Applicants are advised to make sure they check their email accounts and any messages left on phone numbers that they put on the applications. Single women head 56.8 percent of all Birmingham households with children. In the City of Birmingham, there are 34,407 families that include at least one child under 18 years of age; of those, 19,554 are headed by single women.
