In a little over three weeks, California families receiving money from a guaranteed income program will get their next payment from the program. The Pathway to Income Equity pilot program selected 305 out of 6,450 applicants from Sonoma County.
The Pathway to Income Equity pilot program selected 305 out of 6,450 applicants from Sonoma County last year to receive $500 every month. To be eligible, applicants had to have at least one child under age 6, be affected in some way by the coronavirus pandemic, and have a household income of no more than 185% above the federal poverty level, according to the Sonoma County Administrator's Office.
"The information we gain from this pilot program will help shape future efforts to improve the health and welfare of our community." Officials said the payments are delivered on the third Wednesday of each month. The final payment for this program will be issued in December 2024. Sonoma County officials will study what effect this additional monthly income has on reducing poverty and promoting economic mobility for families with young children, according to the administrator's office."We are working with an external evaluator to conduct qualitative research with the participants over the two years," Angie Dillon-Shore, the director of the nonprofit group First 5 Sonoma County, told the Washington Examiner.
The program accepted applications for the payments last year, of which officials said that 2,383 met the eligibility requirements. The application period was from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31.
