Families who receive a guaranteed income in California are set to receive their next payment of $500 in just 18 days. 305 families have been selected by Sonoma County to receive $500 every month for two years as part of Pathway to Income Equity program.
Three hundred and five families have been selected by Sonoma County to receive $500 every month for two years as part of its Pathway to Income Equity program, and the next payment is scheduled for April 19.Officials will study the effects this additional monthly income has 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, 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."
Angie Dillon-Shore, director of the nonprofit group First 5 Sonoma County, told the Washington Examiner these payments would go out to recipients on the third Wednesday of every month. The final payment is set to be issued in December 2024.Applications for the program were open to applicants who met specific criteria, including being a resident of Sonoma County.
A total of 6,450 online applications were submitted for review, and 2,383 met the eligibility requirements. Applications for the program opened on Sept. 1 and closed on Oct. 31.
