Columbia, SC Life Improvement Monetary Boost Income Pilot

Project leaders randomly selected 200 recipients of Midlands Fatherhood Coalition services for the pilot. One hundred people receive monthly payments of $500 funded by Mayors for Guaranteed Income and private donors. The remaining 100 people act as a control group for evaluations of how guaranteed payments impact recipient families. Researchers will look at health, child wellbeing, and financial outcomes throughout the one-year pilot.
