City of Compton CA Introduces Two-Year Universal Basic Income Pilot

How many high income residents do you know in Compton, CA?

To be clear though, this program right here. This is one of those things the cops was crying that they were being defunded for.

It is more of social services specifically.

The pilot program, called the Compton Pledge, guarantees cash payments between $300 and $600 to a group of 800 "pre-verified" residents each month for two years and access to free banking services. The money is available for "irregularly or informally employed residents, immigrants of varied legal status, and the formerly incarcerated," according to a statement from Mayor Aja Brown.

So it looks like they decided to take a different coined term and use it to their benefit since defunded became such a hot button word.
