Austin Guaranteed Income Pilot: Participant Outcomes at Six Months

The Austin Guaranteed Income Pilot is testing how direct cash might help individuals and families with low incomes weather their unstable housing circumstances in some of the highest-poverty and most rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods in Austin, Texas. In September 2022, UpTogether and 10 community-based partners enrolled 135 households to receive $1,000 per month for one year. This fact sheet draws from survey data at baseline and six months into the program, as well as participant interviews, to present a snapshot of preliminary outcomes.
