Baltimore Mayor signs executive order establishing Baby Fund
What happened
Brandon Scott signed the Baltimore Baby Fund executive order in Baltimore. If approved by City voters this fall, the fund would establish a financial source of support for families with newborns. Benefits include a Universal Newborn Benefit, which is a one-time cash payment, and Enhanced Family Benefits, which may include monthly cash assistance.

Why it matters
The fund aims to enhance the economic stability of families with newborns in Baltimore by helping them meet needs such as childcare, transportation, and food. The fund would not replace existing City spending from fiscal year 2027, and the City Council might need to determine the fund's funding source.
