In a pioneering effort to combat poverty, Fresno County, California, has launched the Advancing Fresno County Guaranteed Income program, which will provide $500 monthly for one year to 150 eligible households in economically vulnerable areas. This initiative aims to assist young families or those preparing to start families who meet specific income criteria, offering financial aid without any restrictions on its use. This program is a response to the rising child poverty rates following the end of the expanded Child Tax Credit in 2021. Eligible participants include residents of Huron and southwest Fresno who are 18 or older, pregnant, or have a young child, with an income at or below 80% of the area's median. The California Wellness Foundation supports this initiative, highlighting its potential to enhance health, happiness, and economic stability.
