Just Income is a guaranteed income project in Alachua County, Florida, providing temporary, unconditional monthly payments directly to people who have been impacted by the justice system. This pilot is designed and administered by formerly incarcerated people. We believe a guaranteed income can mitigate known barriers to successful reentry and unlock the inherent potential of our justice-impacted neighbors. 115 justice-impacted people were randomly selected from our applicant pool to receive $1,000 in the first month, followed by $600 a month for the next eleven months. Alachua County residents who met one of these criteria within six months of the application deadline were eligible to apply: Released from a Florida state prison, released from federal prison, released from a Florida county jail with a new felony conviction, or began felony probation in Alachua County.
Alachua County residents within six months of their release from federal/Florida state prison, release from jail with a felony, or beginning felony probation.
