In this episode of the Elevated Denver Podcast, the focus is on the Denver Basic Income Project (DBIP), which aims to provide direct cash contributions to individuals experiencing homelessness. Lorinda Gill, a DBIP participant, shares her journey of wrongful eviction and moving around to resolve her situation. Dr. Katie Calhoun explains the research methods used in the DBIP's randomized controlled trial, assessing its impact on housing, financial well-being, health, and more. Participants Lorinda and Charlie share how DBIP funds have positively affected their lives, offering financial stability and hopefulness. The episode highlights the project's underlying values of dignity, respect, and belief in individuals' potential for positive change. While basic income alone cannot solve homelessness, the DBIP aligns with Elevated Denver's principles of equity and dignity, offering valuable support to low-income and homeless families. The episode concludes with a glimpse into the DBIP's ongoing research and future plans. https://denverbasicincomeproject.org/DBIP Qualitative Research Midterm Report
