And since last fall, she's been a participant in a Washington DC-area guaranteed basic income program. With her husband's SSDI disability benefit, the couple lives on a fixed income of under $2,000 each month, which is separate from their guaranteed basic income. Basic income has alleviated some of her financial anxiety, but she said "it's still not enough" to feel stable. The basic income program Kelly participates in is one of over 100 pilots across the US. Have you benefitted from a guaranteed basic income program?

☆ Over 100 basic-income pilots have run in US cities. Now states are getting creative to fund no-strings-attached cash payments.

Basic income has become a trending strategy to combat poverty in cities nationwide. ARPA funds have been used to partially or fully fund most US basic-income pilots so far, but funds are set to expire. While philanthropy and nonprofit work have been central to basic-income pilots, they are not always a long-term or large-scale funding solution. More GBI programs are electing to focus on specific groups of participants, like low-income parents with children and foster youth. The program is funded through the Temporary Aid to Needy Families Program (TANF), an existing federal cash assistance program for low-income families.
