Pilot project would provide universal basic income Families with young children currently living in deep poverty in Yolo County would receive monthly cash assistance under a universal basic income pilot project that county supervisors will consider on Tuesday. A total of 31 families in the CalWORKS Housing Support Program with children under the age of two would receive monthly payments for a year, up to a maximum of $12,155 annually per family. That cash assistance, combined with the CalWORKS grant they already receive to help with housing costs, would bring these families’ incomes up to a minimum poverty threshold ($25,658 for a family of four).
