The California Department of Social Services has awarded $25 million in grant funding to seven guaranteed-income pilot projects serving pregnant women and young people aging out of the state’s foster care system. These pilot programs aim to assess the impact of economic interventions during important life transitions, such as the birth of a child or transitioning into independence after extended foster care. The projects, which will serve approximately 1,975 residents across California, will provide monthly payments ranging from $600 to $1,200 for a period of 12 to 18 months.
