Sacramento County is joining a growing list of places around the United States offering no-strings-attached payments to its lowest-income residents.
The Sacramento Board of Supervisors approved the basic-income pilot program last week. It's set to offer $725 a month to low-income Black and Native American families. The county is funding the program through a partnership with United Way.
Sacramento County has partnered with United Way for other basic-income programs in the past. About 100 families received $300 monthly from the county in its first program, which began in June 2021 and lasted through May 2023.
United Way is still tracking the results of that program, but an initial report found that three out of four participants said they were more confident they could reach their financial goals after joining the program.
Michelle Callejas, the director of child, family, and adult services for the county, spoke at the county board of supervisors meeting on Tuesday. She said the guaranteed-income program was just one piece of a six-step plan to eliminate child poverty.

Native Americans receive payments from the government as part of treaties and agreements made between their tribes and the United States government. These payments are often related to land rights, resource extraction on tribal lands, and other historical agreements. The U.S. government has a trust responsibility to ensure that Native American tribes receive the benefits and resources agreed upon in these treaties. Additionally, some payments may also be related to programs and services provided to Native American communities, such as healthcare and education. https://www.quora.com/Why-do-Native-Americans-get-payments-from-the-government
There should be some conditions, that they do not have a serious criminal record and are not addicted to narcotics, otherwise what they are going to do is subsidize their addictions.
Well, but if it is to ensure the vote for the Democrats, maybe it makes sense
California- don’t care. It’s dying.
The people receiving this money are fools. Ghetto. Barrio. Same, same. And they’ll blow it on all the usual stuff: crack, smack, doritos and Champale.
No, but you can buy some of that narcotics the demoncrats are selling.. The bucks always find their way back into the pocket of the demoncrats.
Hmmm... seems this program is racist and a violation of federal law on it’s face.
Just like drug dealers ... give them free stuff to keep them addicted, then reap the benefits later.
Completely racist since no socialist-style funds are given to Caucasian, Asian, Hispanic, American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Australasian/Aboriginal, or other racial groups.
Many tribes own Casinos, across America, and the tribal people work there and live in poverty. The Elders get rich. NY has many, They own gas stations and sell cheaper gas, smokes, and booze with less taxes. The line of cars from around Niagra Falls is endless, and many come from Canada. again since the Lockdown was lifted. That line on the Bridge is bumper to bumper. Alabama has the same setup.
You can’t get gas that cheap on a Military base. It is the highest in any area.
YOU CANNOT RAISE A FAMILY ON ONLY $725 PER MONTH!!!

The $725 is just the starting point. Once a program like this begins it will grow both in the amount and who will qualify.
This is socialism in action - Each according to their needs, from each according to their means.
Did the article (I did not read it) mentioned where the money would come from?
I predict you will get more “poor” moving into Sacramento and more taxpayers moving out.
What about the low-income whites, browns, yellows, ebonies, mahoganies, pastels and other tribes? What do they get for drug and booze money? They’re Americans too! This is political racist booschidt.
I should move to Sacramento. I’m a native American—I was born in this country.
Stupid Marxist taught Liberal “White” guilt.
Make (indoctrinate) a Liberal to feel guilty and you can get them to do all kinds of crazy stuff.
I guess you haven’t got the memo.
Leftard dims can do whatever they want..democracy!
Besides objecting to anything ..ANYTHING ..involving POC makes you a racist.
It’s set to offer $725 a month to low-income Black and Native American families.
Why is Spanish the only other option when I makes call.
Why can’t I get Chinese or even ebonics?

The others who dont qualify will feel ‘racially slighted’ and demand their piece of the free pie.
How can that be legal?
