Recipients use funds flexibly—on rent, food, funerals, even safety-related tattoos—while also engaging more deeply with support services. Though small sample sizes limit long-term stats, stories show life-saving outcomes, like escaping abusive situations. The model’s success is sparking expansion across cities, proving that simple, trust-based cash aid can break cycles of trauma and poverty.
