Oakland will give low-income families of color $500 per month, no strings attached


Low-income families of color in Oakland, California, could receive some extra financial assistance over the next year and a half.

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf announced this week that the city will launch a guaranteed income project to give hundreds of Black and Indigenous families and people of color $500 per month for 18 months.

The project's payments will be unconditional, and recipients may spend the money however they choose.
