“Rise Up” Program to Provide $500 Monthly Payments to Eligible Residents in Cambridge
The “Rise Up” guaranteed income program to be launched in Cambridge will provide $500 monthly payments to eligible residents, as the continuation of the previous pilot program, the “Cambridge RISE,” which also gave $500 monthly payments to eligible residents for almost two years.
For the “Rise Up” program, almost 2,000 eligible residents will get $500 monthly payments for a year and a half to address inequalities and the economic divide in Cambridge.
The $500 monthly payments to be provided will greatly help eligible residents, specifically low-income families, have the financial capacity to support their basic needs, including food, housing, and childcare, The U.S. Sun reported.
