MOUNT VERNON, N.Y – A new program is making waves by offering a guaranteed income program to some lucky residents. Two hundred people were chosen at random to receive $500 every month, along with financial guidance to help them manage their money better. This initiative is made possible thanks to funding from the American Rescue Plan, a federal government program.
Mayor Patterson-Howard believes this guaranteed income program will pave the way for a brighter future for the recipients. Residents like Randy Cooper are already feeling the positive impact of the program.
