TACOMA, Wash. -- After Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards joined 10 other
mayors across the nation in June 2020 to sign on as a founding member of
Mayors for a Guaranteed Income – a group which has since grown to 30 mayors
committed to collaboratively exploring guaranteed income pilot programs in
their local communities – Tacoma has become eligible to receive a grant of
$100,000 to begin this work.
A guaranteed income is a monthly cash
payment given directly to individuals. It is unconditional, with no strings
attached and no work requirements. It is meant to supplement, rather than
replace, the existing social safety net and can help foster racial and gender
equity.
With approval of Resolution 40707 this evening, the Tacoma
City Council has authorized acceptance of this grant funding and named United
Way as the primary administrator of initial program research and design.
Acceptance of this grant funding does not obligate the City of Tacoma to stand
up a pilot.
“It is especially important to be a responsible
steward of City dollars during this time of economic uncertainty, and I am
committed to exploring options for a pilot program that would utilize no local
tax dollars,” said Mayor Woodards. “During this time of economic hardship for
so many, a guarantee income program could provide immediate assistance to
Tacoma families in need while gathering real-time data about a potential tool
that could address poverty in an innovative, comprehensive way at the federal
level going forward.”
Mayor Woodards began convening community partners
in July 2020 – including United Way, Sound Outreach, Tacoma Urban League,
Greater Tacoma Community Foundation, and Tacoma Housing Authority – for early
discussions on what a guaranteed income pilot program could look like in
Tacoma. At-Large Tacoma City Council Member Kristina Walker joined on as a
champion of the initiative this fall.
“COVID-19 has brought to light
how little of a safety net exists for many in our community when the
unexpected strikes,” said Council Member Walker. “In cooperation with cities
across the nation, data from these initial efforts could reveal the
effectiveness of guaranteed income as a tool for helping those who are now
struggling to survive the public health and economic impacts of the current
pandemic which has disproportionately affected Black and Brown community
members. I look forward to working with the team of community leaders to
design a program that works for Tacoma and leverages our public-private
partnerships.”
In the United States, wealth and income inequality have
reached historic highs. Nearly 40 percent of Americans cannot afford a single
$400 emergency, and rising income inequality is compounded by a growing racial
wealth gap. The median White worker made 28 percent more than the typical
Black worker, and 35 percent more than the median Latinx worker in the last
quarter of 2019. According to 2017 data released by the Federal Reserve, the
median wealth of White families is $171,000 while the median wealth of Black
families is less than 15 percent of White families at $17,600.
Mayors
for a Guaranteed Income is an effort to realize Reverend Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr.’s economic dream. The coalition is committed to advocacy in favor of
cash-based policies and exploring guaranteed income programs. The lessons
learned from local pilots across the nation will be aggregated and used to
inform federal policy work.

Hi folks,
A family of four (couple with two teenagers) called in asking for shelter but are significantly over income for our program. Their house recently burnt down and are currently staying in a hotel. Does anyone know of any shelters or temporary housing programs in the area that have more relaxed income requirements?
Thank you,
Austin

Hello my name is Lawrence Kinnaman and I used to be the Program Manager at Adams Street Shelter. I now work at CHOICE Regional Health Network as the Community Outreach Coordinator. I am a navigator who helps people sign up for healthcare and helps other navigators in other counties sign people up for health care. I hope to be a resource for all of you and that you will be a resource for me as you have before!
That being said I do have a question. Does anyone have connections to those leading efforts to end homelessness in other counties like Thurston County? We also have partners and navigators in Cowlitz, Greys Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, Thurston, and Wahkiakum county. Any leads would be appreciated!
