"A number of people in the city of Pittsburgh will be chosen to be able to receive a monthly stipend, basically a debit card," Peduto told local CBS affiliate KDKA. He did not specify how many people would qualify, but he did outline the criteria he would look at.

 

Peduto said that he wants to give the monthly payments to those who are currently struggling and who would be able to improve their lives with it. He is also looking to award the money to people of different backgrounds and demographics so that a study can be conducted to analyze how it works.
