Income support can include cash assistance, guaranteed income, and tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit that put cash back into the pockets of taxpayers.
Poverty Solutions has been involved in designing, launching, and evaluating two innovative income support programs in Michigan: Guaranteed Income to Grow Ann Arbor and Rx Kids. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Poverty Solutions closely monitored the impact of direct cash transfers in the form of stimulus checks, expanded unemployment insurance, and the expanded Child Tax Credit.
