Zusammenfassung:Participants who received a lump sum of $7,500 CAD (approximately $5,700 USD in 2018) had greater food security and savings and were able to move into stable housing faster than the control group. The Denver Basic Income Project provides a variety of support, including employment assistance, and the Truth Youth Initiative offers counseling, housing navigation, and other services-in both cases, these services are not requisites for receiving the cash. The Trust Youth Initiative, launching in early 2022 with funding from the New York City government and private donors such as the Robin Hood Foundation, is also piloting a cash transfer program.
