Priority consideration is given to employed residents from underrepresented populations with limited incomes and assets. Eligible residents are selected at random for payments of $500 per month without any restrictions for one year. The program uses $600,000 in funds from Mayors for Guaranteed Income and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey.
