POMONA, Calif. (KABC) -- The city of Pomona is seeing growth with new apartments and new businesses. There are some people, however, who can't afford basic needs. "In a city like Pomona, where you have a poverty rate of about 16, 16.5% - people are struggling. People are having a very difficult time being able to just have housing," Mayor Tim Sandoval said. The city wants to give some residents stimulus checks, a guaranteed income program to help with living expenses. It's called the Household Universal Grant (HUG) program.
