In Los Angeles County, 1,200 residents will collect a monthly $1,000 payment in three days thanks to a guaranteed income program.

Breathe, the county's pilot program, launched last March for former LA Department of Children and Family Services foster youth between the ages of 21 and 23. The program is intended to provide households with "financial stability" without work requirements.

One thousand participants were selected to receive $1,000 per month for three years, and an additional 200 people were chosen to receive $1,000 per month for two years.

The money is sent on the 15th of each month, LA County's Strength Based Community Change agency told the Washington Examiner.

The program seeks to help recipients "during sharp economic swings to breathe a little easier, alleviate stress, and broaden recipients’ horizons, allowing them the time to complete deferred education and job training, as well as plans to fully participate in their communities," according to the program's website.

Applications for Breathe opened on March 31, 2022, and they closed on April 13, 2022. Applications for the expansion for an additional 200 recipients opened on June 20 and closed on July 3.
