The City of Alameda partnered with Abt Global to evaluate the Rise Up Alameda guaranteed income pilot program, which was funded by ARPA. The independent data from the program's second year indicated that recipients saw meaningful improvements in financial stability and mental well-being. The program provided 150 low-income Alameda residents with an unconditional cash payment of $1,000 monthly for two years.
