The program is about poverty there. That is where the program is launching. When the program expands, maybe they will adjust who qualifies for what according to those areas.




Launching first in Atlanta’s historic Old 4th Ward in early 2022, the project will expand to two additional sites in Southwest Georgia and the greater Atlanta area. This project emerged from the recommendations of a community-driven task force that examined the root causes of economic insecurity and wealth disparities in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia. The task force found that Black women face some of the harshest economic insecurity and financial instability, with significant ripple effects on families and communities.
I get that but the rest of the paragraph references stats based on the state as a wole or the city of ATL

They’re not ready for that conversation.

There was a thread last week about women admitting they don’t want to earn too much, because they would lose their benefits. It was about either being low income, or rich, and being middle class isn’t beneficial.
Because some of those benefits are a legit necessity. Food, housing, utility payments, etc. I think it’s more sad that women and men can’t rely on one another financially, even in the confines of a family to the point programs have to replace income and therefore a person.

Communism will never work because too many are comfortable with contributing nothing.

We need to stop being so accepting of babies out of wedlock.

that's the problem with means testing. universal programs dont create those kinds of problems

they used data from 3 fulton country tracts from ACS and Neighborhood Nexus.
The population of the area they used was about 15k people.
that doesn't sounds like the city, state or a single street.


but as my first post said, they're allowing males to apply anyway via a loophole, so they might as well let them all apply if they're poor.

The article says the following: The median Black family in the U.S. owns $3,600 in wealth — about 2% of the $147,000 that the median white family owns, per 2019 research from the Institute for Policy Studies. And in Georgia, about 26% of Black women live in poverty, compared to 14% of white women.
