MIRACLE MONEY: MIRACLE MONEY PROVIDES UNCONDITIONAL DIRECT CASH TRANSFERS OF 750 A MONTH FOR 12 MONTHS TO AT LEAST 55 ADULTS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY AND AT LEAST 55 IN SAN FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND, AS PART OF A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL EVALUATING BASIC INCOME COMBINED WITH SOCIAL SUPPORT. SOCIAL SUPPORT WILL BE PROVIDED OVER 12 MONTHS THROUGH MIRACLE FRIENDS, A PHONE BUDDY PROGRAM THAT MATCHES UNHOUSED INDIVIDUALS 1:1 WITH COMMITTED VOLUNTEERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR WEEKLY CALLS AND TEXTS TO CHECK-IN, SAY HELLO, AND OFFER LIGHTWEIGHT SUPPORT. THE GOAL IS TO ADDRESS "RELATIONAL POVERTY," WHICH IS A DEADLY, OFTEN- OVERLOOKED FORM OF POVERTY THAT LEADS TO NEARLY UNIMAGINABLE LEVELS OF SOCIAL ISOLATION, STIGMA, AND SHAME. WITHOUT ADEQUATE SOCIAL SUPPORT, PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS TEND TO STAY HOMELESS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$284.4K
