Dear  John xxxxxx,

I am writing to provide you with an important community update regarding the Uplift Harris guaranteed income pilot program. Thanks to the federal American Rescue plan, that I voted for, Harris County received $20.5 million dollars that will now be providing financial assistance to low income households in our community! This initiative is working to address the impacts of poverty and health disparity that were intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic.   

This program aims to provide $500 in monthly cash assistance, with no strings attached, to select participants over a period of 18 months. 

Applications for this program open Today, January 12th at 9:00 AM and ends on 11:59 p.m. on February 2, 2024. 

Eligibility: Applicants must be over the age of 18, reside in Harris County, and have a household income falling below 200% of the federal poverty line. About $60,000 for a family of 4 or $29,000 for an individual. Individuals must also live in one of the following zip codes (77026, 77028, 77033, 77050, 77051, 77060, 77081, 77091, 77093, or 77547)
