Thrive Prince George’s is a two-year, $4 million guaranteed-income pilot that seeks to provide
greater economic stability and mobility for families in Prince George’s County.
The program, the first of its kind in the county, provides monthly payments of $800 to 50 youth
(age 18-24) who are aging out of foster care and 125+ seniors (age 60+) for a 24-month period
with no strings attached and no requirements tied to employment.
Thrive Prince George’s is funded using both public and private philanthropic resources from the
Greater Washington Community Foundation, Prince George’s County Council,
and the Meyer Foundation.
Guaranteed Basic Income was made possible through council resolution CR-018-2023 which was championed by Councilmember Krystal Oriadha.
The application for GBI should go live December 11, 2023.
