SUMMARY:InterActions LA 2021
DESCRIPTION:Economic relief to individuals is playing a major role in helping people in LA make ends meet during the COVID-19 pandemic. Expanded unemployment payments and sporadic federal relief checks provided cash to people struggling to make rent and buy food. These pandemic-related cash supports are drawing attention to the role that guaranteed income programs can play in helping individuals get out of poverty. \nA growing number of places in California\, across the country\, and the world are piloting programs and approaches to get money to the people who need it most. From Black and Pacific Islander mothers to low-income older adults to citywide programs in Stockton and Compton\, guaranteed and universal basic income programs are gaining traction. Each program is demonstrating this concept on different populations and outcomes. In South Korea\, basic income recipients were restricted to spending their dollars only in their local neighborhood. In San Francisco\, the program seeks to improve maternal and child outcomes by providing cash support before the child is even born. All of these programs try to address deep economic concerns that low- and middle-income households face in high-cost regions. \nHow can these local issues be addressed through a federal program that potentially provides cash support? What have cities learned about their role in providing cash relief through these pilots and pandemic relief? If a federal basic income program existed\, what role could local and state governments play? This spring\, InterActions LA will bring together the latest thinking and action on the opportunities and applications around moving toward a guaranteed income for people who could benefit in the Los Angeles region. \n\n\nSchedule and full speaker details to come. \nREGISTER HERE
