In just 10 days, California families will receive a payment of $500 from a guaranteed income program.
The program, Pathway to Income Equity, gives $500 to 305 families in Sonoma County every month over the course of two years. Through this program, officials will study the effect of this income on reducing poverty and promoting economic mobility for families with young children, according to the Sonoma County Administrator's Office.
“These payments will help families with young children who are often struggling under the double burden of the high costs of housing and child care — typically the two highest household expenses,” said Chris Coursey, the chairman of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors. “The information we gain from this pilot program will help shape future efforts to improve the health and welfare of our community.
Applications for this program were open to those who met a set of requirements, including being a resident of Sonoma County, being pregnant and/or the parent of a child no older than 5, being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and having one's income at less than 185% of the federal poverty level, which would be $42,606 for a family of three. Applications for this program opened on Sept. 1 of last year and closed on Oct. 31, 2022, according to First 5 Sonoma County.
