In this powerful episode, we sit down with Mark Donovan, Founder & Executive Director of The Denver Basic Income Project, to discuss a revolutionary approach to addressing homelessness: giving money directly to those in need. Mark shares how the project began in response to the economic fallout of COVID-19 and how it has since become the largest guaranteed income experiment in the U.S. focused on the homeless population. “Cash is really powerful, it’s immediate, it’s empowering,” says Mark. He explains the transformative impact of providing direct cash assistance, debunking common myths, and highlighting the positive outcomes they’ve seen. “In the group that received $1,000 a month, homelessness dropped to zero at six months.” Listen in as Mark talks about the data supporting this approach, the challenges faced, and the hope it brings to communities. He also discusses the need for scalable solutions and how individuals and cities can get involved in this groundbreaking initiative. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in innovative solutions to homelessness and economic justice.
