California is giving those in need a critical boost with guaranteed income. Seven pilot programs across the state will be getting a share of $25-million. The grant money will support almost two-thousand people, including former foster kids and pregnant women. They’ll receive up to 12-hundred dollars a month for about a year. The goal is to relieve financial and emotional stress, while helping others become self sufficient.
