<p>Researchers at the Center for Homelessness, Housing, and Health Equity Research at the University of Southern California piloted a basic income study involving 103 individuals experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County and the San Francisco Bay Area. Researchers at the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work found a <strong>decrease in homelessness among the participants, from 30% at the start of the trial to under 12% at the halfway point of the trial</strong>. It also compares how participants who have received at least six monthly payments are doing versus 86 people in the control group who are accessing other homeless services.</p>
