Primary data obtained from field research. The estimation results show that both the simultaneous and partial tests where the variables of social assistance and grants have a positive and significant effect on income or the number of poor people in Pidie Regency. The income of the fishing community in Pidie Regency which can be explained by the social assistance variable and grant funds is 75.5 percent while the remaining 24.5 percent can be explained by other variables not included in this study. The results of the study using a different test show that there is a difference in income between the income earned by the community before and after receiving social assistance and grant funds, where the income of the community after receiving social assistance and grant funds is much greater than before receiving the assistance.
