OLGT 2024-4: Cross Programs: The Support to Low-Income Mothers of Preterm Infants and The Camp Harbor View Guaranteed Income Pilots

Scheduled for 2024, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health will
launch The Support to Low-Income Mothers of Preterm Infants Pilot, a new
universal basic income pilot. This pilot is designed to support low-income
birth parents of preterm infants.

The participants in this study will receive a cash amount of $160 per week,
distributed via debit card, while their preterm infant is hospitalized in the
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Also Scheduled for 2024, The Camp Harbor View Guaranteed Income Pilot
will be enrolling up to 50 Boston-based low to moderate income families in
their 2024 Direct Cash Program. Each participating family will receive $650
per month in unrestricted, unconditional direct cash for a total of 28 months.
The income received from both the Support to Low-Income Mothers of
Preterm Infants Pilot and The Camp Harbor View Guaranteed Income Pilot is
non-countable for all DTA programs.
