Transgender and nonbinary individuals are identified as particularly vulnerable to unemployment, homelessness, assault, and discrimination. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The proposal submitted by Queer Works outlines three broad phases for the guaranteed income pilot: 1) application and design, 2) announcement and launch; and 3) recruitment and onboarding. The $200,000 financial commitment is intended to support the application and design phase. This phase is expected to take approximately six months and will include drafting and submitting a proposal for additional state funding, raising additional funds needed as cash match for the project, community engagement and feedback and finalizing eligibility requirements.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News wrote that \u201cFormer San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio, a Republican who served as the first openly gay member of the city council,\u201d slammed the program as \u201cwoke\u201d in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re completely opposed to guaranteed or universal basic income programs, because they ultimately cause inflation and raise the cost of living on everyone \u2014 they don\u2019t work,\u201d DeMaio said. \u201cBut at least some of them have minimum income requirements to qualify, whereas this one is no-strings-attached \u2018woke\u2019 virtue signaling to the LGBT community in a way that is not only offensive but discriminatory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Palm Beach pilot program is part of broader trend of cities \u2014 like Stockton, Los Angeles and San Francisco \u2014 providing supplemental income to at-risk residents,\u201d NBC Los Angeles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbclosangeles.com\/news\/local\/palm-springs-universal-income-transgender-non-binary\/2863673\/\">reported<\/a>. \u201cThe application period for\u00a0Los Angeles County\u2019s guaranteed income program began last week.
