Source: WHDH TV Boston

“The City of Salem will begin paying some of its residents as part of a new guaranteed income pilot program. 100 Salem residents will get $500 each month for a year to spend however they like. Eligible residents must be living at or below the federal poverty level. The pilot program is funded through the American Rescue Plan Act and a donation from the nonprofit Up Together. Researchers at Salem State will then analyze the impact of the program.” (10/16/24)
