Sacramento County is continuing its Family First Economic Support Pilot Program (FFESP) to support vulnerable families by providing direct financial assistance. The program, designed to help those living below the federal poverty level, aims to bring stability to families with young children through guaranteed income.
How Does the Program Work?
The FFESP targets families with children aged 0-5 years old who reside in specific zip codes in Sacramento County. The program will randomly select 200 participants to receive a guaranteed monthly payment of $725 for 12 months.
Along with the financial support, participants also gain access to services such as financial counseling and community resources, aiming to strengthen the long-term resilience of households.
