The Mid-Iowa Health Foundation's new basic income pilot program, coming to the Des Moines, Iowa, area this fall, could give Iowans up to $500 monthly.
The group said it will follow other models from various cities for its Central Iowa Basic Income Pilot Project, according to a statement on its website."The pilot project will provide 110 low-income individuals with $500 each month for two years," the group said."These payments will provide individuals with greater stability by helping them meet their basic living needs, thus reducing adversity within families and moving people from surviving to thriving in our community.
The group said it will begin recruiting people in November, with the first payments being delivered in February 2023. Participants in the program will be recruited from Dallas, Polk, and Warren counties in Iowa. The group added that more details will be released in the fall, noting on its website the project will include"local, public, and private funders, research institutions, and nonprofit organizations."Other cities across the country including Ithaca, New York, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Annapolis, Maryland, have or are testing a form of basic income similar to what is being proposed with the Central Iowa Basic Income Pilot Project.
