The program, which is expected to include 5,000 Chicago households, will study whether a universal basic income could reduce poverty in the city. Applications will close at 11:59 p.m. May 13.
City officials also tapped the YWCA of Metropolitan Chicago as well as the Center for Changing Lives, Phalanx Family Services, Pui Tak Center, Spanish Coalition for Housing and the United African Organization to ensure Chicagoans in need get an opportunity to apply for the program.
Households earning less than the federal poverty level, which is $27,750 for a family of four, will get priority in the lottery, officials said.
