Sunnyvale eyes guaranteed monthly checks to assist low-income families and children

SUNNYVALE’S LOW-INCOME residents might be receiving a financial boost from the city.

The Sunnyvale City Council is looking to pilot a guaranteed income program to support residents who are financially burdened. The councilmembers on Oct. 24 gave input on who the program should be serving, and how they would want it organized. They discussed how long the program should run and how much money would be dispersed to residents. The city council plans to finalize details in the first half of next year.
