Uplift Harris is the county’s first guaranteed income program and provides eligible households with $500 a month for 18 months.Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Harris County for its guaranteed income program that helps eligible families in 10 targeted ZIP codes.
“Texas Republicans sued Harris County over our guaranteed basic income pilot program, which uses federal funds to provide $500 per month to some of the lowest income families in the county,” Menefee said. “This is nothing more than an attack on local government and an attempt to make headlines.” “Over the last couple of weeks, we've been conducting the review, verification, and lottery to narrow down to those final 1,928 households,” he said.
Maddox said notifications were sent out last week to let those who applied know whether or not they’ll be getting the $500 a month for 18 months.There will be a four-week enrollment period for those who have been selected.
