## What did we evaluate?
The county program used a lottery to allocate a one-time unconditional payment of $4,000 to 2,250 eligible applicants identified as individuals at risk of homelessness, low-income families, and seniors living in areas disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Other localities in the United States are beginning to adopt similar programs.<sup>4</sup> Although the literature on the effects in high income countries is just emerging, there is suggestive evidence that these programs decrease material hardship and homelessness for very low income populations.<sup>5,6</sup>

## How did the evaluation work?
Analysis plan forthcoming.

## What did we learn?
This evaluation is currently being implemented and is part of our <a href="https://oes.gsa.gov/pandemic-relief-economic-recovery/">Pandemic Relief and Recovery portfolio</a>.
Results forthcoming (2025).
