A new program, offered by The Bridge Project, will provide monthly cash assistance to pregnant people in Connecticut with annual household incomes below $44,000. This program, similar to a universal basic income, aims to improve family finances, infant development, and overall well-being. The initiative has shown positive results in other states, with participants experiencing increased savings, improved mental health, and greater flexibility. This program is meant to supplement existing efforts, such as the state's baby bonds program, to alleviate poverty and empower families.
