San Antonio experimented with a guaranteed basic income program that sent more than $5,000 to 1,000 families with no strings attached to the funds. Participants’ survey responses suggest the program was a success.
The program offered $5,108 over the course of 25 months with no stipulations about what the money could be used for. Participants had to fall 150% below the poverty line to be eligible.
