Guaranteed Income update!

Mayor Brandon Scott has officially launched the Baltimore Young Family Success Fund. The application process is now closed.

CASH has no control over which participants are selected. All eligible participants will be placed into a randomized lottery to be selected by the evaluation firm.

What is next?

Anticipated Timeline:

• CASH Campaign of Maryland will begin contacting participants selected through the randomized lottery 4-5 weeks after applications close.
• The onboarding and approval process is expected to take 4-6 weeks. At this point, applicants that provided an email contact in their application and were not selected for the pilot will be notified. The Baltimore Young Families Success Fund’s website will also be updated to note that the pilot is filled, and all participants have been identified and onboarded.
• Payments to participants will begin in late Summer 2022.

Please visit the official guaranteed income website to learn more.
