SAN FRANCISCO: Guaranteed Income for Trans People (GIFT)

Courtesy Citizen Free Press....

Lyon-Martin Community Health Services & The Transgender District, in partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Trans Initiatives, the San Francisco Treasury, and the Mayor’s Office of Housing & Community Development is proud to present the first Guaranteed Income Program specifically for Transgender people. GIFT is a financial assistance program for low-income Transgender, Non-Binary, Gender Non-Conforming, and Intersex (TGI) people who reside in the City and County of San Francisco, CA. This program is currently only available for those 18 years of age and older.

If enrolled, the City and County of San Francisco will provide $1,200.00 per month to those who maintain eligibility for the program for 18 months. Eligibility is determined based on multiple factors including city of residence, income, priority population, and availability of funds. You may use the funds to pay for anything. The only additional requirement to stay enrolled in the program is the completion of a survey every 3 months.
