Podcast Episode: Cash Matters

This ASCEND podcast reviews the impact of the Magnolia Mother’s Trust, a Springboard to Opportunities program, which is a guaranteed income initiative for extremely low-income female-headed households. The program provides $1,000 in cash monthly for 1 year on a no-strings basis for participating families which, in effect, doubles annual income. The podcast also discusses how the program’s evaluation data can be used in future program and policy design. (Springboard to Opportunities is a Family Prosperity Partner within the Aspen Family Prosperity Innovation Community.)
