Sacramento County is joining a growing list of places around the United States offering no-strings-attached payments to its lowest-income residents.
The Sacramento Board of Supervisors approved the basic-income pilot program last week. It's set to offer $725 a month to low-income Black and Native American families. The county is funding the program through a partnership with United Way.
Sacramento County has partnered with United Way for other basic-income programs in the past. About 100 families received $300 monthly from the county in its first program, which began in June 2021 and lasted through May 2023.
United Way is still tracking the results of that program, but an initial report found that three out of four participants said they were more confident they could reach their financial goals after joining the program.
Michelle Callejas, the director of child, family, and adult services for the county, spoke at the county board of supervisors meeting on Tuesday. She said the guaranteed-income program was just one piece of a six-step plan to eliminate child poverty.

So. Not racism then?
When will California give reparations to Chassidic Jews for the Crown Heights Pogrom? And to Armenians for the Turkish genocide?
That’s a relief! lol
Go for it - SacTown!
This is a race-based welfare program that CA intends for the rest of the American Taxpayers to fund, eventually through Federal Grants and so forth.
how do they get away with this crap?....
why give money to organizations that are discriminating against whites?...and probably asians too....
so if you want to support education, try something like "Polish college fund" or "Irish fund"....its just a sad reality...
since our local Catholic Charities CEO basically told us that all white people are racist, we don’t give a dime...they have local food/supply drives at the basketball games and we just ignore them....
