Nearly 100 Black mothers are receiving basic income thanks to a new County program known as the Multnomah Mothers’ Trust Project. On Tuesday, Nov. 1, project leaders briefed the Board of Commissioners on the impact from the program’s first year.
The program serves approximately 100 Black female-headed households with children currently receiving services through the Black Parent Initiative or WomenFirst programs. Families receive an unconditional, basic income of about $500 per month . . .
