St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter signs executive order that provides guaranteed income for families in need
|
[KSTP] On Thursday, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter signed Executive Order 2020-24 that authorizes the creation of the People's Prosperity Pilot, St. Paul's Guaranteed Income Demonstration Program.
A release from the mayor's office states the program is led by the Office of Financial Empowerment. The People's Prosperity Pilot will provide up to 150 St. Paul families with $500 a month in guaranteed income for a period of up to 18 months.
The projected budget of up to $1.5 million will be supported through the Mayors For Guaranteed Income national network, philanthropy, and city of St. Paul CARES funds. Households will be randomly selected from CollegeBound St. Paul families from the city's most racially diverse and lowest wealth neighborhoods.
St. Paul city councilmember Mitra Jalali said of the program, "the scale of how game-changing that would be, is not insignificant to those families it could put actual lives on a different path for the better."
