No one was excluded on the basis of race, religion or whatever. Zip codes reflect lowest income in the city.
This is a privately funded program which is intended to illustrate the benefits of providing money to low income families in the critical years versus controlling how money is spent.
It has been done in other states/cities and seems to be a big success in terms of providing tangible differences in child outcome and other indicia of economic and social stability.
The hope is that these private pilot programs become part of a way of funding for poor people by showing their effectiveness.
We know this works.
It’s more than an easy solution; it actually works. From various cities across the United States, to Iran, countries in Northern Europe, and to Kenya, guaranteed income projects across the globe confirm that we are able to successfully alleviate poverty when we give people money. Immediate needs are more easily met: housing, food, and healthcare -- but results go beyond just that. Unconditional cash enables recipients to find steady and full-time employment, allows recipients to live healthier lives, with notably less anxiety and lower depression levels, and creates new opportunities for self-determination, choice, goal-setting, and risk-taking.

And you know this, how exactly? Unless you're on the board of this organization, you wouldn't know this for a fact.
Besides, 11205 and 11206 reflect majority of hipsterville where their rents are sky high. I am not so sure it is the lowest income zipcode.

Zip codes are a way of discrimination. It was done with red lining.
If it is purely to help low income, make families prove their income.

Not Willowbrook, Westerleigh or Manor Heights.
Not sure about the Yeshiva, Eltingville, or New Springville areas.

Even if your zipcode is included, when they see a jewish sounding last name you won't get it.
It's like that with college scholarships too sometimes.
Truth is, some minority communities need the money more.

Pasted from their website, they obviously want to expand to more zip codes. I would theorize that it had more to do with their sponsors and partners (see website).
The Bridge Project currently operates in New York City and serves 600 babies and their mothers across 2 boroughs, 20+ zip codes, and alongside 25+ community based partners and service organizations. Mothers in the program receive up to $1,000 a month, unconditionally, for 36 months. A portion of the program is a randomized control trial in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Guaranteed Income Research. By the end of 2023, the program will expand to all 5 city boroughs and launch a presence across New York State, starting with Rochester. All together, the efforts will result in 1,100 babies receiving an unconditional cash allowance
