Cambridge RISE

Project Brief: CambridgeRISE (Recurring Income for Success & Empowerment) was a guaranteed income pilot program in Cambridge, MA that provided an additional $500 monthly to 130 single-caretaker families living at or below 80% AMI. In order to secure federal funding for the expanded RISE Up program, I was tasked with creating an informative yet eye-catching one-pager for the City Council to take with them to Washington D.C. for the National League of Cities Conference. RISE Up officially launched in June 2023 with $22 million in federal ARPA funding.
