A pilot program will provide a guaranteed income of $1,204 a month for three years to 150 residents ages 18 to 24 who are receiving general relief benefits. About a third of young people eligible for the program are homeless with no support system.
L.A. County Supervisors Holly Mitchell and Sheila Kuehl are proposing that the county provide at least $1,000 to at least 1,000 residents for three years.
Such programs have helped participants cover unexpected expenses and look for full-time jobs free of short-term financial pressure, Tuesday’s motion said. The $1,204 monthly payment, $201 of which is CalFresh food benefits, will supplement the county general relief payment of $221 a month.It’s not clear yet how the 150 participants will be selected. They will receive job placement assistance and will be encouraged to take advantage of other employment, apprenticeship and entrepreneurship resources.
