Revolutionizing the Fight Against Homelessness
Miracle Messages, an award-winning nonprofit organization, has partnered with AidKit, Google.org, and the University of Southern California to launch the Miracle Money: California pilot program.
Combatting Homelessness, Together
This innovative initiative aims to provide transformative support to individuals experiencing homelessness in the San Francisco Bay Area, and Los Angeles County. By leveraging strategic partnerships, the program can reach the individuals who need it most, and provide a comprehensive suite of support services.
Addressing the Challenges of Homelessness
Homelessness is a complex, and multifaceted issue that requires innovative solutions.
Miracle Money: California aims to tackle the root causes of homelessness by providing both financial resources, and social support to those in need.
The Power of Basic Income, and Social Support
Through this pilot program, 100 individuals experiencing homelessness will receive $750 per month for 12 months, along with weekly phone calls, and text messages from trained volunteer "phone buddies."
This holistic approach has the potential to address the root causes of homelessness, including housing instability, food insecurity, and relational poverty.
Transforming Lives with Evidence-Based Strategies
Backed by a $1.15 million grant from Google.org, and a rigorous randomized control trial led by researchers at the University of Southern California, the Miracle Money: California pilot builds upon the proven success of the original Miracle Money program - which helped 66% of participants secure stable housing.
