PROBLEM

MAF offered monthly guaranteed income to support immigrant families during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In order to investigate the effectiveness of this assistance, MAF conducted research interviewing participants to understand their financial literacy and well-being. Prior analysis of closed-ended survey responses showed that participants receiving guaranteed income had higher general wellbeing than those who did not.
