OLGT 2022-96: Cross Programs: Rise Up Cambridge

Scheduled for early 2023, the City of Cambridge will launch the first non- lottery cash assistance program in the country, Rise Up Cambridge. The program is a $22 million dollar commitment from the City of Cambridge, managed in partnership with the Cambridge Community Foundation. It will provide $500 per month in direct cash to all Cambridge households earning at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Level with children under 21 years of age for approximately a year and a half.

The income received from Rise Up Cambridge is non-countable for all DTA programs.
