Immigrant Families Recovery Program
Building a better way forward – and a better future – for immigrants families left out of federal support.
The first guaranteed income program designed specifically for immigrant families, paired with financial services and resources to build back faster. An immigrant family of four lost out on $11,400 in federal payments — money that could have helped families pay for rent and put food on the table.

GUARANTEED INCOME
Each family enrolled in the program receives $400 per month for up to two years. Families can use this however they choose — no strings attached.

FINANCIAL SERVICES
It will take more than cash alone to rebuild: families can choose from one-on-one financial coaching, group education, and self-advocacy training.

INSIGHTS
Families are the experts in their own lives. Their journeys and insights will inform the field. Their recovery will set the stage for positive change.
How it works
With equity front and center, the Immigrant Families Recovery Program focuses on low-income immigrant families with young children who remain excluded from federal support. It’s not a simple solution: people lead complex lives. The Immigrant Families Recovery Program brings together the best of finance and technology to ensure all families have the relevant tools and resources to rebuild.
