The HudsonUP Basic Income Pilot has completed the penultimate year of its five-year guaranteed income program. Today, JFI has released the year four report by Principal Investigator and Senior Fellow Leah Hamilton.
The HudsonUP Basic Income Pilot, now in its fourth year, continues to provide vital insights into the transformative potential of basic income. Launched in 2020, the program provides 128 residents of Hudson, NY, with an unconditional $500 monthly stipend for five years. This report draws on both qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys to explore how the program has impacted participants’ financial stability, health, employment, and community connections.
