Denver allocates $2MILLION in taxpayer funds to provide 140 homeless people with $12,000 in no-strings-attached cash - as a last-ditch effort to lift them out of destitution, combat soaring crime rates and clean up squalid encampments
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] At least they’re taking a scientific approach to wasting taxpayer money.
  • Denver has allocated $2million from the American Rescue Plan Act to fund the program, which will be run by the Denver Basic Income Project

  • The program, which in total will cost around $9million, is seeking to help around 820 people, but the $2million provided by the city will fund around 140 people

  • The program will be divided into three groups with 260 receiving $6,500 upfront then $500 a month for 12 months

  • Another 260 will get $1,000 a month for 12 months and 300 will get $50 stipends to complete surveys to help see how the program is working

  • The participants will be chosen at random but will largely derive from women, transgender, and non-binary individuals
