Chicago’s $31.5 million guaranteed income pilot program has kicked off with slightly more than 5,000 households receiving their first payments, while Cook County is opening up applications for its separate cash handout initiative.
Most of the recipients of the Chicago program are women, about 7 in 10, and a majority are Black. Participating households’ median annual income is $14,000, according to a news release on the program.
The city said 71.1% of recipients are women, while 75.6% live in an economically distressed community, 62.5% are caregivers, 9% are homeless or experiencing housing instability and 60.2% live in poverty, with 36.7% earning below 50% of the federal poverty line. Some were laid off as a result of the pandemic, left work to be a caregiver or suffered COVID-19-related medical costs. The most common form of government aid the participants receive is Supplemental Nutrition Assisting Program , with 58% of them part of the food stamp program.
would be open from Oct. 6 to 21. The program will send $500 a month to 3,250 families for two years. More than one-third of all Cook County residents are estimated to be eligible to apply.“Two years is a longer runway” to allow families “to stabilize and think about the future and start to implement those changes,” Pete Subkoviak, the county’s Director of Guaranteed Income and Economic Mobility, said at a Wednesday press conference.
