PTBi's Collective Impact program partner, Expecting Justice, has launched the first experiment of unconditional income supplementation during pregnancy in the US. Named the Abundant Birth Project, the program targets 100 low-income Black and Pacific Islander pregnant women in San Francisco. The program aims to distribute a monthly income supplement of approximately $1,000 per month for the duration of a woman’s pregnancy and then for the first two months of the baby’s life, with the goal of eventually implementing a supplement for up to two years post-pregnancy.
