Mountain View RVs

People living out of recreational vehicles are a common sight in Mountain View, above. The city is contemplating a “guaranteed income initiative” to help residents most in need.

Mountain View leaders say the city has been at the forefront of the COVID-19 response, providing financial assistance for struggling renters and small businesses. Now they may be taking it a step further: basic income for residents most in need.

The Mountain View City Council May 25 adopted a resolution that will set the stage for a “guaranteed income initiative,” using funds received from the federal American Rescue Plan Act. The resolution commits support for “the principles of basic income,” said Mayor Ellen Kamei, and authorizes participation in the Mayors for a Guaranteed Income Initiative (MGI).
