Under the contract, Denver will give the Denver Basic Income Project $2 million to help support more than 140 women, transgender and gender non-confirming individuals, and families experiencing homelessness. The funding comes from the American Rescue Plan Act, the city said in a press release.Mark Donovan, founder of the Denver Basic Income Project, said the organization will begin collecting applications next month, and then there will be a random selection process.
In addition, Donovan said there will be a comparison group of 300 people that will receive $50 a month for 12 months for completing surveys so the organization can analyze how the program works and build upon the feedback.
