Poverty and Guaranteed Income Programs

More than half a million Minnesotans experienced poverty last year. Guests talk about financial insecurity and how guaranteed income programs are helping families obtain financial health and well-being. It's possible for a Minnesotan to be working full time trying to support their family and still earn a poverty-level wage. Heather Britt and guests discuss what we mean by poverty, the big mismatch between who we consider below poverty and what people actually need to get by, and the guaranteed income programs the City of St. Paul and the Wilder Foundation are piloting to support residents navigating poverty and help them achieve financial security. Guests Kasey Wiedrich, Financial Capability Manager, City of St. Paul Office of Financial Empowerment Liz Kaufman, Asset Building Program Coordinator, Wilder Foundation Jenny Geris, Whole Family Systems Manager, Wilder Foundation Allison Liuzzi, Research Manager and Minnesota Compass Project Director, Wilder Research
