I really like the implications UBI has for charity. because everyone has a minimum level of resources, charity's revenue can scale with the number of people they serve.
For example, a halfway house could collect BI funds on behalf of its residents. it uses these funds, plus monies from other sources like donations or grants, to provide in-kind aid (food, shelter, security, medical care). as a resident requires fewer services, you can progressively phase out the in-kind aid and pass the BI cash through directly.
obviously this would require oversight to ensure that the charity is a responsible steward of the residents BI. we do this with the foster care system already.
