Die Stadt Austin, Texas, hat die Einführung eines sogenannten garantierten Grundeinkommens für bedürftige Familien gebilligt. Dies soll dazu beitragen, die wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der COVID-19-Pandemie zu mildern. Das Pilotprogramm wird in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Non-Profit-Unternehmen Mayor’s Fund for Innovative Policing finanziert und soll Familien in finanzieller Notlage helfen.

Das Programm, das bereits in anderen Städten wie Stockton, Kalifornien, erfolgreich implementiert wurde, wird finanzielle Unterstützung für bedürftige Familien bereitstellen. Dieser Schritt kommt, nachdem die Stadt Houston letzte Woche eine Klage gegen das geplante garantierte Grundeinkommensprogramm eingereicht hat. Bürgermeisterin filmte den Moment auf Facebook, als sie am Dienstagnachmittag das 12 to 1 “Guaranteed Income Pilot Program” ankündigte, um Hunderten bedürftigen Familien in Austin bei den Einkommensunsicherheiten im letzten Jahrzehnt zu helfen.
