New Mexico initiated a basic income pilot program that provided $500 per month to 330 households with mixed-status immigration standing. The program, supported by private donors and philanthropy, aimed to address the financial challenges faced by immigrant families with diverse citizenship statuses. Participants were allowed to independently utilize the monthly payments for various necessities, such as rent, groceries, debt repayment, and family support. The success of this initiative has paved the way for further basic income endeavors, including a state-funded program targeting individuals enrolled in workforce training programs. The pilot's positive outcomes included improved housing security, reduced financial insecurities, and enhanced educational opportunities for participant families, demonstrating the potential of basic income initiatives to empower low-income households and promote economic stability.
