Director of Research Sidhya Balakrishnan in Gothamist
JFI’s Director of Research, Sidhya Balakrishnan, spoke to Gothamist about New York City’s increasing number of cash-assistance programs.
“Whether people increase their spending, whether they reduce their debt – we don’t know,” Balakrishnan said. “That’s why I think one thing which is extremely valuable about all these pilots is that they almost all have a research component, qualitative or quantitative.”
