The Bridge Project has allowed me to be the mom I’ve always wanted to be. ” -Daniela, Bridge Project Participant “The Bridge Project has been a constant support, helping me feel seen, secure, and hopeful for my baby’s future. I’m so grateful to be part of a community that truly cares.
” -Ayana, Bridge Project Participant Location: United States, founded in New York City, with sites in New Jersey, Boston, Appalachia, Milwaukee, Connecticut,Indianapolis, Omaha, and Upstate New York Launched in 2021, the Bridge Project provides low-income mothers with biweekly, unconditional payments and connects them to community resources during pregnancy and the first several years of their child’s life.
It now provides regular payments to nearly 4,000 mothers, across multiple regions. In addition to providing direct payments, the organization has worked with elected officials to advance budget proposals that drive public funding toward unconditional cash payments. In New York, the Bridge Project has catalyzed more than $20 million in public funding for mother and infant cash programs.
A randomized control trial conducted by the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Guaranteed Income Research found that mothers receiving payments increased their savings by an average of 242%, increased their ability to access outside childcare by 63%, and showed significant improvement in home stability,[1] all factors that contribute to a child’s early learning.
Another study found that 63% of mothers living in transitional housing moved to more permanent housing, 53% saw an increase in food security, and 46% of the cash was used for baby expenses. In Milwaukee, after a year in the program, 31% of moms opted to pursue post-secondary education.
