People's Relief Program Proposed to Aid Struggling Floridians
Senator Shevrin Jones has filed legislation (SB 170) to create the "People's Relief Program", a state-funded safety net to help Floridians facing economic hardship.
"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 state-funded grants to assist with essential expenses, including housing, childcare, utilities, health care, and property insurance. Jones emphasizes 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 would depend on yearly appropriations by the Legislature and is pending a House companion. Author's summary: Senator proposes aid for struggling Floridians.
