Beginning next year, Palm Springs will give some transgender and nonbinary residents a monthly payment as part of a guaranteed basic income pilot program. The Palm Beach City Council voted unanimously to provide $200,000 toward research and other startup costs for the project in a March 24 meeting.
The plan, administered by Palm Springs-based advocacy group DAP Health and Queer Works, has no stipulations regarding how recipients must spend the money but states that transgender and nonbinary residents are particularly vulnerable to unemployment, homelessness, assault and discrimination. The city has said that the program is only for people who meet a poverty threshold, Fox News reports.
The program will also seek state funding from the $35 million allocated in 2021 toward guaranteed income programs across California with an expected launch between October and February 2023, according to NBC Los Angeles.

Im a fan of some type of universal income to help ensure everyone has basic rights to housing, food, and medical care so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
