Colleagues,
This is all the information I have on the Aug. 11 Pierce County Department of Emergency Management After Action Review.  Monique Brown, Janet Runbeck and I will represent the Coalition.  I am hoping there will be a Zoom option.  Whether or not there is, you need to register. 
Thanks for your work everyone,

Friends- I received this email today and wanted to get it out to you:

 

The application for Tacoma’s guaranteed income demonstration, Growing Resilience In Tacoma (GRIT) is OPEN!

 

The application is only open for a week, Monday, August 9 at 10am through Monday, August 16 at 11:59pm. Please review the FAQs and fill out the application.

What is GRIT?

GRIT is a first-of-its-kind guaranteed income demonstration in Tacoma. Participants will receive $500 a month for 12 months as a supplement to their income and public benefits. They will take part in surveys to help determine the impact these funds make over time. A guaranteed income is a monthly, cash payment given directly to individuals. It is unconditional, with no strings attached. It’s meant to supplement, rather than replace, income and benefits. Participants will be randomly selected from a pool of qualified individuals by researchers from the Center for Guaranteed Income Research.

 

GRIT is a collaborative effort between the City of Tacoma, United Way of Pierce County and and Mayor’s Guaranteed Income (MGI) Network. Planning partners also include: Greater Tacoma Community Foundation, Sound Outreach, Tacoma Urban League and Tacoma Housing Authority.

 

Who is eligible to apply?
