ARP: Denver Proposed a Targeted Basic Income Program That Would Give $1,000 Monthly

Idea Category: Equity & Opportunity, Housing | Funding Source: American Rescue Plan

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock proposed a targeted basic income program that would give $1,000 monthly to qualifying residents. He asked the City Council to dedicate $2 million of the remaining ARPA funds to women and families living in homeless shelters. Denver already has a UBI-inspired program that disburses monthly payments of $1,000 to 260 people, $500 to 260 people, and $50 to 300 people, funded through a $5.5 million allocation of the city's budget, according to the Denver Voice. Hancock's proposal would assist an additional 140 qualified residents to receive $1,000 monthly payments.
