At an enrollment event this week, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle welcomed some of the more than 3,000 participants in the Cook County Promise guaranteed income pilot.
Jasper Cannon was among the participants completing their enrollment. Cannon said he and his wife Leneara Turner are homeless and living in a shelter. The program’s administrator is the organization GiveDirectly, which administers similar anti-poverty programs around the world. U.S. administrator Sarah Moran says in her observation, the cash approach is simple and effective.
Participant Clarence Shaffer works as a bodyguard and security professional, but he had to stop working in order to take care of his 87-year-old mother, which he says has made his financial situation precarious.
