Fox News: Texas county to launch guaranteed income program in 2024 with COVID relief funds
Starting in 2024, eligible citizens in Harris County, Texas, will receive monthly payments of $500 through a new "guaranteed basic income program" funded by $20.5 million from President Biden's American Rescue Plan Act. The program aims to improve participants' financial and health outcomes and will be available to low-income households in selected ZIP codes. The money can be used in any way as long as it does not support illegal activities or terrorism.
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo suggested that even undocumented immigrants could receive these payments if deemed eligible by the county attorney. The program is administered by GiveDirectly and its tech partner, AidKit. With the availability of more funding, there is a goal for long-term sustainability and expansion.
