Meet Jessica, who has big plans to help other youths who have aged out of the foster care system. Los Angeles County launched the pilot program Breathe to provide its residents the chance to “breathe” easier knowing they are more financially secure. Breathe is a guaranteed income pilot project that provides 1,000 eligible residents with $1,000 per month for three years, and additional 200 former Los Angeles County DCFS foster youth with $1,000 per month for two years. For those enrolled, it’s more than a check; it’s a path forward that’s changing lives.
