Bridges to Success was an intensive adult mentoring and comprehensive case management program where mentors worked with participants over two years to identify their short- and long-term goals, create step-by-step plans for progress, and provide cash incentives for completing planned steps. Bridges to Success adapted a Mobility Mentoring approach for implementation in Rochester, NY.

The Baby’s First Years (BFY) Unconditional Cash Transfer provided monthly, predictable unconditional cash transfers to new mothers with low-income to increase household financial resources and encourage investments in child development during the first years of children’s lives. Mothers were given a debit card in the hospital, and a cash gift of $333 was loaded into the card monthly. Mothers also had access to a hotline number for assistance with the card use. There were no work-related requirements and no restrictions on how mothers could spend the cash gifts.
