California county helps fund universal basic income program restricted to women of color
Fox News
Officials in Marin County, California have launched a UBI program in the county designed to give $1,000 a month to 125 qualifying residents for two years in partnership with the Marin Community Foundation.
The county is contributing $400,000 to the program, with the remainder of the estimated $3 million coming from the foundation. The program is slightly modeled after a similar one that ran from February 2019 to February 2020 in Stockton, California. The Marin County program, however, has a couple of conditions for residents to receive payments: recipients must be women of color with a child under the age of 18.More Related News
