Cash Stimulus
Growing evidence shows that cash assistance programs help improve people’s economic security, health and education outcomes, and employment and housing stability. They also help reduce racial inequities that lawmakers created through centuries of racist economic policies designed to funnel wealth to white people and exclude Black, Indigenous, and People of Color from economic and social opportunity. Lawmakers must continue to increase funding for cash assistance programs, which are currently too small a share of the state budget.
