The Denver Guaranteed Income Project (DGIP) emerged as a beacon of hope in a city grappling with homelessness and financial instability. For individuals like Jarun Laws, a 51-year-old cook, the program provided a temporary respite from a decade-long struggle with homelessness. However, as the initial project concluded, Laws grappled with the harsh realities again. This is a testament to the challenges participants face even after experiencing the positive impact of Denver’s guaranteed income initiative.
