If you are residing in Sonoma county, California, you might be aware of the $500 month stimulus being paid.
In Sonoma County, California, eligible residents will get money for two years, but they must take action.
The county collaborated with the cities of Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and Healdsburg, as well as a coalition of neighborhood organizations, to introduce the “The Pathway to Income Equity” program.
Through Monday, October 31, 2022 at midnight, residents can submit their applications at PathwaySonoma.org.
The 305 low-income households in Sonoma County will benefit from the two-year experimental initiative.
The pilot program received slightly over $3 million from the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors in May.
