People's Relief Program Proposal
Sen. Shevrin Jones has filed legislation (SB 170) to create the "People's Relief Program", a state-funded safety net to aid struggling Floridians.
"From utility bills to property insurance premiums, families across the state are feeling squeezed by rising costs and working harder than ever just to make ends meet."
The program would provide grants to assist with essential expenses, including housing, childcare, utilities, healthcare, and property insurance.
Jones emphasized that
"The Legislature has a responsibility to ensure long-term financial stability for Floridians, and the People's Relief Act is an essential step toward achieving that goal."
The initiative depends on yearly appropriations by the Legislature and awaits a House companion.
