Detroit moms rushed to 'no strings attached' cash aid program tailored to new mothers

Over 1,000 Detroit moms rushed to a "no-strings-attached" cash aid program tailored to new and expectant mothers, the city's mayor announced on Tuesday.

"Seeing more than 1,000 Detroit mothers enrolling so quickly tells you everything: families are ready, and Detroit is delivering," Mayor Mary Sheffield said in a written statement.

Detroit officials distributed around $1 million to more than 1,000 mothers as part of the city’s Rx Kids program, which launched the application process on Feb.
