Selected residents of Palm Springs, California, only need to wait nine days before a guaranteed income program begins paying $800 every month. The program is being run by nonprofit organizations Queer Works and DAP Health.
The program, which is being run by nonprofit organizations Queer Works and DAP Health, selected 30 recipients earlier this year in March and will begin the 18-month pay schedule on May 15. The recipients of this program will be free to spend this monthly payment in any way they see fit, according to Queer Works.To have been eligible for this program, applicants needed to have an income of no more than 30% of the median income of Riverside County, which is equal to $16,600.
The funding for this program, which Queer Works described as universal basic income, comes from $500,000 from the city of Palm Springs. As part of this guaranteed income program, recipients will be required to participate in a study by Queer Works, which will involve surveys taken each month. The data from this program will be made available every six months, with the final report expected in winter 2024.Applications for this program opened on March 15 and closed on March 25. The selected recipients of the program were notified of their selection on March 30.

In the city of El Monte, a program paying 125 applicants $500 every month is expected to begin on June 1, and in Sonoma County, recipients of the Pathway to Income Equity pilot program, who receive $500 every month, will receive their next payment on May 17.
