A new Guaranteed Income initiative called Breathe is available to apply for by eligible residents.

The aim of the program is to give participants the opportunity to “breathe with a reliable financial cushion”, hence the name.

Successful applicants will be paid $1,000 per month for two years, bringing the total payout to $24,000 per recipient.

Los Angeles implemented this program back in 2022, distributing cash to 1,000 residents monthly for three years.

This year there are 1,200 open spaces, but there are strict eligibility criteria for foster youth.

To be eligible for the expanded program, applicants must be between the ages of 21 and 23 and turn 24 before September 1st.

In addition, the following admission criteria apply:

• After his 18th birthday, he entered LA County’s DCFS youth program
• Household income in a Los Angeles neighborhood must be less than 100 percent, or 120 percent for people living in a household of two or more people
• Facing difficulties due to Covid-19
• No participation in any other guaranteed income program

If you meet the admission requirements, you can apply online.

However, the application deadline is Monday, July 3, 11:59 p.m.

Eligible participants will be selected at random and will receive the money.

If you are not eligible for this program, there may be other direct payments in your area that you can apply for.
