Rx Kids provides all pregnant people in the city of Flint with no-strings-attached cash of $1,500 during pregnancy and $500 each month throughout a baby’s first year. The program is also the first ever pilot to be partially funded by public TANF dollars, a groundbreaking moment for the Guaranteed Income movement.
