Stimulus checks prove inaccessible for people experiencing homelessness
April 14, 2021
People experiencing homelessness have faced barriers in receiving stimulus checks even though they are eligible, Mary Frances Charlton, a youth health attorney, said.
The American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion bill signed in early March, included a provision to send $1,400 stimulus checks to the American population. Charlton, who works for the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, said the money is widely inaccessible to people experiencing homelessness because they tend not to have a bank account or a permanent address to receive the checks.
“The irony is, people who need these checks the most are having the most trouble getting them,” Charlton said.
