Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — The Guaranteed Basic Income program provides qualifying families with several hundred dollars a month, no strings attached. In Albuquerque the program will be applied to families of students in select high-needs public schools, on the west side and the International District. The first cohort will consist of 80 households that will receive monthly guaranteed income support of $750 for three years. The program is funded by the Cannabis Equity Reinvestment Solution. Over $4 million was appropriated from marijuana taxes.
