BALTIMORE — Baltimore City will pilot a "guaranteed income" program, which will pay 200 young, very low-income parents $1,000 a month for two years. The city will use $4.8 million in COVID-related funding for the project.⁠ ⁠ Mayor Brandon Scott announced the pilot program this morning, joining several other cities nationwide in offering a "guaranteed income."⁠ ⁠ The idea of "guaranteed income" was founded in June 2020 by Michael Tubbs, former mayor of Stockton, Calif. Multiple cities have tried it since, and more than 60 mayors are part of a coalition that's pushing for a federal guaranteed income.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in our bio to watch the full video.⁠ ⁠ #economy #business #company #firm #money #stock #inflation #covid19 #recovery #family #resources #assistance #topnews
