Access to unconditional cash can transform lives by empowering families to meet their unique needs and break cycles of poverty. Unconditional cash programs are being implemented nationwide, such as Sacramento County's Family First Economic Support Pilot which demonstrates the potential of guaranteed income to reduce disparities and support vulnerable communities. The Zilber Family Foundation’s support for The Bridge Project here in Milwaukee aligns with this mission—showcasing the profound impact unconditional cash has on mothers supporting their newborn babies.
