—Anjala Huff, PSY Vice President, Direct Cash Transfers

“I could talk about the benefits of Direct Cash Transfers until I am blue, but I would much rather hear about it from the young people most impacted by the program. I know the data shows the program is one of the most cost-effective ways to keep young adults housed long term, but the testimonials of recipients reveal what data cannot: Direct Cash Transfers empower young adults to think about their future, to enroll in school, to launch their careers, to enrich the lives of their children and more.

Since last year, we’ve been collaborating with recipients and youth consultants to tell their stories. This is a small taste of the series, which will be shared across all of our social channels in the coming months. It’s our intention to expand access to the Direct Cash Transfers Program across the country because, as these stories will show, it works!”
