Read previewAs guaranteed basic-income programs get more popular, opposition is also on the rise. Several lawmakers, like Arizona's Gillette, believe that income programs would discourage work and could raise taxes. A recently introduced bill in South Dakota would ban basic-income programs at the state level and prevent municipal governments from creating local programs. AdvertisementDespite opposition, basic-income program participants have seen benefitsPilot income programs have remained divisive with policymakers, but several major cities have seen positive results.

The program provides $1,000 monthly to low-income families, who spent much of their payments on housing. She applied for the Austin Guaranteed Income Pilot, which gave 135 low-income families $1,000 monthly with funding from the City of Austin and philanthropic donations. An analysis by the Urban Institute think tank found that participants predominantly spent their $1,000 payments on housing and food. Still, the Austin pilot — and dozens of others nationwide — have not been entirely successful for every participant. I'm working, and when I got down here, I landed a job within a month," Hendon said.
