The vibes are historic! This week, Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield confirmed that she wasn’t playing around when it came to her community.

Detroit's gearing up to roll out a major program for new and expecting moms: the Rx Kids program, which will help cover the real costs of bringing a baby into the world.

“Today, I’m proud to announce that Detroit will become the largest city in the nation to participate in Rx Kids — a transformational mom and baby cash prescription program that strengthens families and improves health,” she said in a statement. “As the first woman Mayor of Detroit, it was important to me that my first initiative center mothers, babies, and families. Detroit is setting a new national standard for how we show up for families from the very beginning.” 

“Detroit has always been a city that leads with heart and courage, and today we are once again setting a national standard by ensuring that every mother has real support, and every baby has a strong start,” Sheffield said in a statement.

There are no income requirements, though expectant mothers will have to prove they’re pregnant. Moms-to-be will receive $1,500 upfront during pregnancy, followed by $500 a month for the baby's first six months. 

That money goes toward rent, groceries, diapers, formula, doctor visits, or whatever keeps things stable.​

Enrollment will kick off within Sheffield’s first 100 days in office, targeting the roughly 8,000 babies born yearly in a city where half of the kids live in poverty. 

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer backed it too, calling Rx Kids the nation's first program putting $7,500 directly in new moms' pockets to boost health and finances.

“RxKids is the nation’s first-ever program that puts $7,500 directly in the pockets of new moms to help them care for their babies while improving their finances and health, and I’m so proud that Mayor Sheffield is expanding it into Detroit," said Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in a statement.

The city is expected to invest $500,000 a year for three years, backed by heavy hitters like The Skillman Foundation, Kresge Foundation, GM, and a $250 million state budget slice over three years. ​

For young families hustling in Detroit, this support could be a lifeline amid rising costs of living.  Sign-ups hit the city's site soon.
