Basic Stability
What is the Basic Stability program?
Basic Stability is a program that unconditionally covers someone’s basic needs like rent, utility bills, food, etc.
Uses of Basic Stability
The main function of basic stability is to remove the side issues in life so people can focus on main goals, tasks, or interests. Not only can people stand on their own two feet, but by taking the “how do I make money?” overhead out of the equation, people are empowered to directly pursue their passions that may once be thought of as pipe dreams.
