Money for Jam launch
In September Per Capita launched the pilot of Money For Jam, a ground-breaking social innovation project specifically designed to address income poverty for older women. The Money For Jam model was co-designed in 2016 by 13 women over 50 who were experiencing homelessness and deprivation, in collaboration with Per Capita’s Centre for Applied Policy in Positive Ageing (CAPPA). This process led to an innovative solution for helping older women alleviate income poverty through microenterprise. CAPPA will now pilot the program in Melbourne over 18 months
