Palm Springs council plans guaranteed income for TRANSGENDER residents
Palm Springs council has approved a pilot program which will see 20 transgender and nonbinary residents receive $600-$900 a month, in a universal basic income test for two years.www.dailymail.co.uk
Palm Springs council to offer guaranteed $900-a-month income to TRANSGENDER residents: Officials admit the $200,000 scheme for 20 people probably cost more to set-up than it'll pay out
- Palm Springs council on Thursday voted to begin a pilot program, giving 20 transgender or nonbinary residents a guaranteed income for two years
- The scheme will see participants handed $600-$900 a month, while another control group will just have access to existing social services
- Palm Springs is hoping to access some of the $35 million that the state of California set aside for universal income pilot schemes
- So far Stockton and Compton have both trialled schemes, giving a group of residents a guaranteed monthly sum
- Yet even the mayor of Palm Springs - who is California's first transgender mayor - expressed reservations about the scheme
