Guaranteed income program made Texas mom realize low-income, marginalized groups were underserved for so long
While guaranteed income advocates push to extend pilot programs to permanent government-sponsored cash assistance, one recipient spoke with Fox News Digital about the benefits of the policy.
Austin, Texas native Taniquewa Brewster was financially supported by the city’s guaranteed income program during a critical transition period in her life as she juggled parenthood, long work hours and hoped to finish certification programs.
"It helped me start out — it gave me time to take care of things that I needed to take care of. It's hard when you're working 40 hours a week, and you have five children," Brewster told Fox News Digital. "I have five kids, and I am trying to make time to do other things, fighting for these basic human rights. I didn't have a car at the time. I was using my sister's car. She was making sure that I got from point A to point B, doctor's appointments, helping, looking out, taking care of my children."
