With the end of year festivities and holidays being around the corner and inflation alongside economic hardship not giving a break to families across the United States, residents in the state of Virginia have a $2 million pot available for those eligible to receive a $500 dollar monthly payment called the ARISE program, but today November 9 is the deadline to apply.
The ARISE program stands for Alexandria's Recurring Income for Success and Equity program and it intends to ensure that hundreds of families have a basic income to survive,with the $2 million funding coming from the American Rescue Plan Act.
This application process opened just recently on October 31 and is closing this November 9, with the eligible residents being able to apply on the program's website alexandriava.gov or go directly to one of the four locations they've setted up for help.
Who's eligible to receive this $500 monthly payment?
This program has no minimum income or work requirements, but those applying must be at least 18 years old and have proof of residency in Alexandria, Virginia.
The individual's household income must be at 50% or below of the area's median income. 170 Alexandria residents will be elected to participate in this program.
After a resident has been selected, they'll be notified by phone, email or text and they have 14 days to respond to the notification.
The payments can be expected by January 2023 and then forward, more updates can be found at the ARISE website.
