San Jose State Sen. Dave Cortese Introduces Bill to Create Guaranteed Income for Homeless High School Seniors

Senate Bill 333, authored by Sen. Dave Cortese, D-San Jose, would establish the Success, Opportunity, & Academic Resilience (SOAR), a guaranteed income pilot program that would offer a fund to all 12th grade unhoused students who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence.

Santa Clara County Supervisor Dave Cortese introduces unconditional basic income

A state senator from San Jose introduced legislation Tuesday that would create a guaranteed income for homeless high school seniors.

“We must stop graduating 15,000 high school students into homelessness each year,” said Cortese.

In 2020, Cortese, then a Santa Clara County Supervisor, helped create the nation’s first universal basic income program to serve transition-age foster youth.

SB 333 is a reintroduction of SB 1341 which was introduced in 2022. SB 1341 would have provided direct cash payments of $1,000 monthly to approximately 15,000 students.

Direct cash payments from SB 333 would be awarded from April to August 2024.

Co-Authors of SB 333 include Senator Angelique Ashby, Assemblymember Matt Haney, Assemblymember Alex Lee, Assemblymember Evan Low, and Assemblymember Gail Pellerin.

Teri Olle, California Campaign Director of the Economic Security Project, said that she stands with Cortese’s bill.

“Helping young adults during the crucial transition from high school to college or career allows them to clear away obstacles and position themselves to create the life they want,” said Olle.

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
