The next $1,000 payment in a Los Angeles guaranteed income program is scheduled to go out in 12 days.
The program, called Breathe, issues $1,000 payments to 1,000 participants monthly and plans to issue the payments for roughly three years. Payments are issued on the 15th of each month, Los Angeles County’s Strength Based Community Change agency told the Washington Examiner.

The 1,000 recipients are all former LA County Department of Children and Family Services foster children between the ages of 21 and 23. The program is intended to help recipients establish financial security.
Recipients receive the monthly payments through issued debit cards, negating the need for a bank.
Applications for Breathe opened on March 31, 2022, and closed on April 13, 2022. The first payments were issued in June 2022 and will cease in August 2025.
Breathe is a pilot program, which its website says hopes “will usher in something more expansive in the future that will serve more people in Los Angeles County.”

An expansion of the program will add 200 more recipients, also former DCFS foster children, who will receive monthly $1,000 payments for two years. Applications for the expansion opened on June 20 and close Monday.
