The program picked 110 single mothers in Birmingham to receive a guaranteed $375 monthly income for a year.
Kimber Washington, one of the recipients of guaranteed monthly income for a year from the Embrace Mothers program for single mothers in Birmingham, discussed the program with officials from the U.S. Department of Labor on Wednesday, July 27, 2022. A newly released study of Birmingham’s guaranteed income program for single mothers shows the program was a success, the city announced this week.
“For every ten households in Birmingham, six are led by single mothers,” Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said. A randomized control trial included an additional 132 control group participants who were also single mothers in Birmingham but did not receive guaranteed income. Mothers who continued to work throughout the pilot experienced significantly fewer issues at work due to childcare challenges—a key component of the theory of change envisioned by the City in targeting guaranteed income to single mothers.
