The next payment will be sent on May 17, and Supervisor Chris Coursey, the chairman of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, believes that these payments will help families with young children who are often struggling with high housing and childcare costs.<\/p>\n<h3>Evaluating the Program&#8217;s Impact<\/h3>\n<p>First 5 Sonoma County is using an external evaluator to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/stimulus-update-direct-payments-worth-500-for-more-than-300-families-to-be-sent-in-26-days\/\" title=\"Update from Stimulus: In 26 days, direct payments totaling$ 500 will be sent to more than 300 families.\">conduct qualitative research<\/a> with the participants over two years.
