New Moms Win Cash Aid

Baltimore voters approved Question I by roughly 70% to 30%, creating a permanent, taxpayer-funded Baltimore Baby Fund for new and expectant parents. The city must allocate 3 cents per $100 of assessed taxable property value to the fund, expected to generate about $17 million in its first year. City newborns enrolled in the program will qualify for a one-time payment, while additional assistance may be available to eligible parents; the City Council will set detailed rules and eligibility criteria.
