WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) â Low-income families in the Wausau area could get some extra financial help thanks to a research program out of Pennsylvania.
Tuesday evening Wausauâs Finance Committee heard from Mayor Katie Rosenberg about a research program that would look at what happens when low-income households have a guaranteed income from their municipality.
The Guaranteed Income Research Program from Mayors for a Guaranteed Income and the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy & Practices Center began in early 2020 by former Stockton, CA Mayor Michael Tubbs. Cities participating in the program receive a $100,000 grant and design a guaranteed income program to fit their needs.
