What We've Learned From Guaranteed Income Pilots

The guaranteed income receipts continue coming in, and they continue to tell a similar story of overwhelmingly positive impact for families and children. But as this collective body of evidence continues to grow, what exactly are some of the most powerful and relevant observations? Who still needs to be convinced and how are guaranteed income pilots and studies designed to dispel the most persistent myths about no-strings cash assistance?  In this conversation, we’ll go on a tour of guaranteed income findings so far, led by the co-directors of the Center for Guaranteed Income Research at UPenn. They’ve been working with more than two dozen cities and counting across the country to collect robust data on guaranteed income pilots. At the same time the expanded child tax credit during the pandemic also added to the evidence base for guaranteed income. But the racist political tropes maintain a powerful grip on many in Congress, the ultimate target for guaranteed income supporters. Will even researchers eventually tire of doing study after study showing positive results? Do we even need more studies by now? This session is part of Next City’s Solutions of the Year, a multi-day virtual convening of seven sessions that will frame the conversation for 2023.
