The Guaranteed Income for Transgender People pilot program will provide 55 residents with $1,200 per month for 18 months, plus healthcare and financial coaching.
The city of San Francisco this week launched a guaranteed income program aimed at the transgender community.
“By giving low-income trans people the resources to cover the expenses they deem most immediate and important given each person’s unique situation, we are implementing a truly community-centered intervention to combat poverty,” said Aria Sa’id, president of the Transgender District.Trans people experience poverty at a much higher rate than other Californians, proponents of the program said.For Black residents across L.A.
“Even with our rich history of trans advocacy, we see that trans San Franciscans experience poverty at exponentially higher rates compared to the general population,” Pau Crego, executive director of the San Francisco Office of Transgender Initiatives, said in the release.
But the program has also received messages from trans activists across the country looking to build similar programs in their areas.“I don’t think we were expecting that response,” Sa’id said.
