-
This project would allow MFRC to provide direct, no strings attached, cash payments to 200 Humboldt County residents between the ages of 60 and 64. MFRC has successfully administered a comparable program that disbursed $2.4 million to 150 people who were pregnant during MFRC’s Humboldt Income Program enrollment window.

Steady Steps Benefits Access Pilot
Estimated Project Cost $1,550,000 over 2.5 years
-
Developed through a Community Partner Co-Design in partnership with End Poverty in California and CivicMakers, Steady Steps would allow MFRC to provide cohort-based cash assistance to residents transitioning off of CalWORKs or TANF. Cash support would gradually decline over the participation window to allow for a smoothing of the benefits cliff that families experience when transitioning off of CalWORKs and/or TANF. See this slide deck to learn more or contact rbaker@mckfrc.org with questions.
