What if we tied a basic income to accepting 24x7 monitoring of the body and all communications from the body's point of view in space... i.e., a monitoring band that tracks health biometrics, as well as audio and video, ambient temp, humidity, etc. - full instrumentation of each individual who opts in.
The monitoring band would also act as the recipient's communicator (smartphone) - so - they can freely use it to call, text, email, get apps, etc., it's just that all the data they generate - each individual participant's trace - is recorded.
The massive amount of data collected from people willing to trade a homeless lifestyle for one with a steady income would have tremendous value in aggregate, and be unavailable to anyone for nefarious purposes. The only thing you have to do to get the basic income is be willing to have all your data recorded (but not shared publicly!)
Your anonymized data will then be made available (along with everyone else's) via an API to developers of apps, and, assuming you give them permission, they will be able to access your sensitive / personal / private data as well.
