Durham, NC focuses its guaranteed income pilot on formerly incarcerated residents

Durham, NC Guaranteed Income Pilot Formerly Incarcerated

En cours

City officials selected local nonprofit StepUp Durham as the pilot's administrator. The one-year program issues monthly cash payments of $500 to 109 participants. Eligible residents are 18 years and older, earn less than 60% of the area median income, and were incarcerated within the past five years. The project is funded by $200,000 in private donations and $500,000 from Mayors for a Guaranteed Income. Project leaders are evaluating the impacts of payments on recidivism and re-entry.
