A fast-growing Michigan cash aid program for moms and babies is coming to Detroit.

Mayor Mary Sheffield announced the launch of the popular Rx Kids program, which aims to ease the burden on families at what can be a financially challenging time as well as a crucial period for a baby's development. Led by Dr. Mona Hanna, Rx Kids offers $1,500 in cash assistance mid-pregnancy and then $500 a month for at least six months of the baby's life, and already operates in 20 communities across Michigan.
