For a year, it allowed him to pay rent, more comfortably pay his bills, and spend time with family. He couldn't afford rent anymore after the program, but he's hopeful the extension will help him again. Basic income programs including those in Austin and Minneapolis showed that most recipients spend their payments on soaring housing costs. For the first year, the project gave participants either $1,000 monthly, $500 monthly with $6,500 upfront, or $50 each month as a control group. Some of his former coworkers found out he was living in his car, and they helped him find a place and pay rent.
