Direct financial assistance coming to Evanston residents in need – Chicago Tribune/MSN

The Guaranteed Income Pilot Program will provide $500 a month for 12 months on a prepaid debit card to 150 households using funds from the city, Northwestern University and the Evanston Community Foundation. Funding includes $700,000 from the American Rescue Plan. Northwestern will be using the program as a research tool to explore the impact of guaranteed income and the stories of those benefiting from the program.

Since this is being distributed via prepaid debit cards funded partially by the city of Evanston, will citizens be able to FOIA the Evanston government individual card statements so we can see how the money is spent?
