The city of San Francisco is offering an exclusive stimulus program only for transgender residents.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced Wednesday they would start accepting applications for the Guaranteed Income for Trans People (GIFT) program.
Only transgender residents of the city can apply for the program, which is led by the Transgender District, a neighborhood of the city for transgender people.
The program will give 55 transgender residents $1,200 a month for up to 18 months to advance equity for transgender people.
“Guaranteed Income for Transgender People (G.I.F.T.) will provide economically marginalized transgender people with unrestricted, monthly guaranteed income as a way to combat poverty our most impacted community members face,” a website for the program reads.
