More than 140 people experiencing homelessness in Denver will each be provided up to $1,000 in cash a month for up to one year as part of a basic income program designed to help "lift individuals out of homelessness," the city announced last week.
The $2 million contract with the Denver Basic Income Project was approved by the City Council and will provide direct cash assistance to more than 140 women, transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, and families in shelters.
"Just as important as housing and shelter is a regular source of income for those experiencing homelessness," Mayor Michael B. Hancock said. "This direct cash assistance will help more than 140 women and families currently in shelters move into stable housing, and provide support, so they can stay housed while opening space in our shelters to serve more people."

“...so they can stay housed while opening space in our shelters to serve more people.”
They better get ready to serve a LOT MORE people.
Liberal nutters never understand supply and demand.
Gimme, gimme, gimme...
I want, I want, I want....
I need, I need, I need.......
Three of my renters were given free rent and electric by Uncle Sugar. Two of the three, who had received over nine thousand dollars each, got seriously into drugs and I had to evict them. They were doing fine before and never lost their income so they should have been nine thousand ahead. Turns out the third woman bought new cars for her kids. Three of them. I’m waiting for that shoe to drop as she is now making rent only after her paycheck is deposited.
The Mexican Cartels will be flooding the border trying to catch one of Abbott’s buses to Denver. There’s big bucks in them thar hills!
Denver has Portland/Seattle/SanPeloishitsco envy.
But not to worry, they are flushing themselves as fast as they can to join the turdfest.
How much crack can $12,000 buy?
I hope some of them use it to better their situations and break out of their current cycles.
“If it only improves one life...”
Might as well hope for the best, the money’s gone now.

It appears they’re giving it to weak and mentally ill.
I’ll be one of these homeless for $1,000 a month, if it’s a work-from-home position.
Still plenty of great living in Colorado. You just have to get at 2-3 hours away from the Front Range.
More theft by government.
Is the mayor’s brother-in-law selling crack?
$1000 month on top of all the other free benefits means more homeless, more drugs, more trash, more garbage, more alcohol, more moRE MORE!!
Paying them to be drug addicts is more like it.
I’m sure they won’t track how many overdose after they get their money......guarantee it’s gonna happen.
Dope and booze money.
But…they look nice. I’m sure they care about people like me. /s
The likker stores and drug dealers will get most of it.
In completely unrelated news, fentanyl deaths skyrocket.
