MULTNOMAH COUNTY Universal basic income experiment worked, officials say Austin De Dios The Oregonian/OregonLive It was 7 a.m. on a warm August morning and Voycetta White had just finished an eight-hour shift at the Best Western Vancouver, where she works as a night auditor. By 8 a.m., she would need to be at Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center in Portland for another grueling eight hours of work as an optician - a trade she picked up while in prison. Amid the hustle, White's youngest daughter delivered a harsh reality check. "I ran home, got dressed and got ready for my second job," White said. "And my 13-year-old says, 'Mom, this is crazy, you're going to work? I hardly see you. And I said, 'Honey, this what I have to do right now, we have bills to pay."

In 2021, she became one of 100 Black mothers and caregivers who received monthly checks of $500 or more from Multnomah County's Mother's Trust guaranteed income program. The pilot was designed to ease the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Black households, which officials and experts have said were disproportionately impacted in the years that followed. Mother's Trust was part of a larger county program. called the Multnomah Idea Lab, which focused on "pilot-ing new policy approaches, with a specific focus on addressing poverty and racism," officials said.
