Ann Arbor Launches A Monthly Income Program That Would Benefit Select Residents.
The City Council of Ann Arbor, a city in Michigan, approved the monthly income program for its select residents. The program is said to last for two years and the funds will come from the American Rescue Plan, which amounts to $1.6 million in total. Ann Arbor, in partnership with the Poverty Solutions Department of the University of Michigan, will conduct a study that would analyze how the income program would affect the community.
Linh Song, a City Council member, says that through the income program, they hope to make the people stay in the city. Song added that Ann Arbor is a “really expensive city”, and that people need all the help they can get. The income program would target the moderate and low-income families of the city. Entrepreneurs are also on the list for the income program.
