Santa Rosa Has a Guaranteed Basic Income Pilot Program
Santa Rosa has joined the County of Sonoma to offer a pilot program for eligible families to receive a guaranteed basic income of $500/month for two years. This pilot program aims to alleviate financial stressors felt particularly by lower income pregnant and parenting families with young children, particularly those most impacted by the pandemic. There are specific qualifications to apply for this funding, and the application period is open between Sept. 1 through Oct. 31. Visit PathwaySonoma.org/Program/Apply for more information and to access the application.
