800 Coloradans experiencing homelessness.

Basic income results:

• secure housing and full-time jobs
• 45% of the participants secured housing (10 months after the start) and saved $589.214 in public service costs about hospital, temporary shelter and jail stays.

It is since Jananuary extended for 6 months.

Nich Pacheco said the cash payments also help participants get the training and resources they need to establish careers.

Participants who received the lump sum $6,500 payment in addition to $500 a month could better build savings and make major life changes like signing a new lease or buying a car.

Some did not make through and came back to living in cars.
