The Denver Basic Income Project just got an extension and more funding.
The Denver Basic Income Project, which now provides monthly payments to 800 of the city's lowest-income households, announced it is extending its runtime for another six months.
Many cities around the United States are experimenting with basic income projects to alleviate homelessness and support their most vulnerable residents.

"I am proud to endorse the Denver Basic Income Project and its vital role in our ongoing efforts to address homelessness and improve the lives of our residents."
