Study: L.A. pilot that guaranteed families $ 1,000 a month was overwhelmingly beneficial.

Participants in the program experienced a host of financial benefits, according to the study.

Participants reported a meaningful increase in savings and were more likely to be able to cover a $ 400 emergency.

The program was funded through the city budget and included $11 million that city leaders moved from the Police Department budget in response to nationwide protests after the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer in 2020 .

Despite the positive research findings, programs like BIG:LEAP have raised concerns among some taxpayer groups.

It's not clear where the next round of funding would come from.
