The Mayor’s Office is launching a new guaranteed income program for trans
San Franciscans.

The Guaranteed Income for Trans People (GIFT) program, which is accepting
applications until Dec. 15, will provide 55 trans people with $1,200 per
month for up to 18 months alongside medical, mental health and financial
coaching services.

Trans communities in California face higher financial barriers compared
with the general population. The last U.S. Trans Survey in 2015 found that
30% of transgender Californians were living in poverty, with trans people
of color accounting for a disproportionate number.

Designed in partnership with the Transgender District and Lyon-Martin
Community Health Services, the program targets the material conditions of
trans community members, rather than symptoms of financial insecurity.

“By giving low-income trans people the resources to cover the expenses
they deem most immediate and important given each person’s unique
situation, we are implementing a truly community-centered intervention to
combat poverty,” Transgender District President Aria Sa’id said in a
statement.

Roger Doughty, executive director of LGBTQ community service provider
Horizons, emphasized the necessity of GIFT since the stakes are extremely
high for trans people.

“There has been some important and courageously won progression in recent
years,” Doughty told The Standard. “Trans people—especially trans people
of color—still live with unacceptably high levels of poverty, lack of
health access, lack of stable housing and violence.

“San Francisco can continue to play a critical leadership role,” he added.

GIFT will be the city’s third guaranteed income program, joining the
Abundant Birth Project and the Guaranteed Income Pilot for Artists
program, which provide basic income for Black and Pacific Islander
pregnant people and artists, respectively.

“We will keep building on programs like this to provide those in the
greatest need with the financial resources and services to help them
thrive,” Mayor London Breed said in a statement.
