Palm Springs Moves Forward with Measure to Provide Universal Basic Income to Low-Income Trans, Nonbinary Residents

It looks like universal basic income could soon become a reality for some Americans.
And those Americans are transgendered people living in Palm Springs, California.
The city’s town council voted to allocate $200,000 to Queer Works and DAP Health, two non-profits, to develop a pilot program that would provide cash support to transgender, nonbinary and intersex residents in the form of cash payments.
The city council considered the measure for “an hour and a half” last Thursday, before unanimously voting to support it. The Washington Post said the proposal could be “the first guaranteed basic income program specifically for low-income transgender and nonbinary people to be implemented in the country.”
