Former prisoners would get money under Gainesville plan

A pilot program in Gainesville that would be among the first of its kind in the country would pay people who were previously incarcerated a guaranteed monthly income for up to two years to help them get back on their feet. Mayor Lauren Poe said Monday said that the exact dollar amount is not yet determined but there have been discussions about a payment in the $600-a-month range. Poe said he hopes the city can start the program by Oct. 1. The recurring monthly income payment amount and number of people served will depend upon how the program is designed and the overall dollars there are to work with over two years, he said.
