The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
If we had $2 million, I would use it for a guaranteed basic and income initiative for youth ages 18 to 26 and partnership with UMass Boston or another public college to research the impact on their ability to be successful driving adults.
Who it helps and why
We live in a city with some of the highest opportunity and access gaps, big wealth and quality, and expensive housing. This will help to level the playing field for some of our young people.
