A Boston suburb<\/a> on Monday began sending payments through a guaranteed income program \u2014 triple the amount offered under a previous version.<\/p>\n

The Brookline Housing Authority (BHA) and Brookline Community Foundation announced “UpTogether Brookline”<\/a> in October, following an earlier program that provided $250 monthly checks to low-income residents under the “Resident Opportunity Initiative.” The new initiative triples that support to $750 after the foundation partnered with the housing authority over the summer.<\/p>\n

The pilot program will pay 55 Brookline, Massachusetts<\/a>, households $750 for 12 months. It received $460,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act and a $76,000 grant from the Brookline Community Foundation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BHA Executive Director Ben Stone confirmed with Fox News Digital that the department is providing the expanded guaranteed income program.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Households receiving assistance experienced financial setbacks during the coronavirus pandemic, receive state or federal housing aid, and are enrolled in BHA\u2019s Self-Sufficiency Programs. The cash can be used for groceries, to “care for loved ones,” or to invest in education.<\/p>\n

According to its website<\/a>, UpTogether describes itself as “a systems change organization that recognizes that poverty is created by systems, rooted in racism, and perpetuated by false views of people considered \u2018poor.\u2019”<\/p>\n

The program will also include a five-year financial literacy course through the BHA.<\/p>\n

Brookline launched its pilot guaranteed basic income program<\/u><\/a> after other local governments across the country rolled out similar initiatives.<\/p>\n

A coalition of 150 mayors<\/a> called Mayors for Guaranteed Income has promoted pilot programs that provide low-income participants up to $1,000 a month with no strings attached.<\/p>\n

The Cook County Board of Commissioners<\/a> unanimously approved $7.5 million for a permanent guaranteed income program last week. Chicago \u2014 the largest city in the Midwest and third-largest in the nation \u2014 serves as the county seat.<\/p>\n

While studies have shown that guaranteed income pilots have been beneficial, some programs face funding shortages and legal challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
