Guaranteed Income

Mayor Michael D. Tubbs from Stockton, CA and the Economic Security Project founded Mayors for a Guaranteed Income in June 2020. Mayors, including Santa Fe Mayor Alan Webber, came together in this network to implement guaranteed income projects across the country that lift all of our communities, building a resilient, just America. A guaranteed income is a monthly, cash payment given directly to individuals. It is unconditional, with no strings attached and no work requirements. A guaranteed income is meant to supplement, rather than replace, the existing social safety net and can be a tool for racial and gender equity. Learn more here . Each project across the country looks a little different in response to the local needs. In 2021 Santa Fe received a grant for $500,000 from MGI to help young student parents enrolled at SFCC attain their educational goals. A third round of funding will be available for the 2024-2025 school year. Learn more below.
