A Full Agenda. We have a robust meeting in store: we will host a presentation about Thrives Prince Georges, by Janna M. Parker, Executive Director of PG ChangeMakers and Yolanda Johnson, Executive Director of PG Casa. Here is how the Greater Washington Community Foundation described this historic public-private partnership:
Thrive Prince George’s (is) a two-year, $4 million guaranteed-income pilot that seeks to provide greater economic stability and mobility for families in the region. The program, which is spearheaded by the Greater Washington Community Foundation, Prince George’s County Executive and Council, and the Meyer Foundation, will provide monthly payments of $800 to 50 youth (age 18-24) who have aged out of foster care and 125+ seniors (age 60+) for a 24-month period with no strings attached and no requirements tied to employment.
