Economic Assistance

The JFS Economic Mobility and Opportunity (EMO) team leads innovative projects such as San Diego County’s first guaranteed income program — the San Diego for Every Child Guaranteed Income Project (SDec GIP) – as well as the Child Welfare Services Cash Transfer Program, the Recovery Action Fund for Tomorrow (RAFT), and the Black Women’s Resilience Project. These programs are designed to address the root causes of poverty and socioeconomic disparities.  Through these programs, the goal is to cut child poverty in San Diego in half by 2030.
