Young gig workers who are homeless would benefit from the program's cash payments and financial coaching, which could provide stability while they build more consistent income streams.
“The changing nature of the economy--including the growth of the ``gig economy'' in which workers earn income providing on-demand work, services, or goods; unemployment risks posed by automation; and the fluctuating nature of waged labor--will result in increased income volatility”
