What is a guaranteed income?

A guaranteed income is a monthly cash payment given directly to individuals with no strings attached. In addition to helping with economic stability, the extra income can help people with their health, taking care of themselves and their families, and achieving their goals. A guaranteed income is meant to supplement, rather than replace, the existing social safety net and can be a tool for racial and gender equity.

"The guaranteed income payments took a weight off my shoulders. It helped me go from survival mode to feeling like my family is going to be okay, no matter what.”
