Concord Launches Guaranteed Income Pilot as Programs Gain Traction in Bay Area

Concord has joined a growing list of Bay Area cities testing guaranteed income programs. The East Bay city’s model will provide 120 families with $500 a month for a year.

We’ll talk about the latest guaranteed income programs, what we’ve learned from the pilots and how state support is changing local experiments. see more
