We are so proud of the partnerships that have been instrumental in the conception, design, and execution of this groundbreaking pilot that has profoundly impacted Chicago communities in need. Through concerted efforts and adapting strategies, partners like the Center for Changing Lives and United African Organization have reached milestones in community support—over 2K residents benefited in Humboldt Park alone! Efforts didn't stop at outreach; the Spanish Coalition for Housing (SCH) innovatively leveraged Spanish media to reach Latinx communities, while the Adult ESL Tutoring Program - Pui Tak Center's focused work in Chicago's Chinatown exemplified effectiveness - with a remarkable 92% application completion rate. A big thank you to GiveDirectly for their steadfast partnership, and deep commitment to fostering social and economic justice. The success of this endeavor exemplifies what can be achieved when compassion, innovation, and collaboration come together. #CommunityImpact #SocialJustice #Collaboration #Innovation
How did the City of Chicago, Chicago Dept. of Family & Support Services, GiveDirectly, and AidKit launch a brand new guaranteed income pilot in April 2022? How did the pilot innovate on previous cash assistance work? What could have gone better? These are the questions we try to answer in our team's interim process evaluation of the Chicago Resilient Communities Pilot. Please take a look and share with your networks, especially those trying to stand up new cash assistance pilots! https://lnkd.in/ghhfEZBG
