Please read more in <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/spotlights/spot-homeless.htm">Spotlight on Homelessness</a>. You should inform us during the application process if you are experiencing homelessness, so that we may better assist you with your application.

</h3>
|
||
<p>Social Security, the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs developed <em>Key Strategies for Connecting People Experiencing Homelessness to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Benefits</em>, a document outlining the strategies shown to help people experiencing homelessness apply for and receive
|
||
SSI/SSDI benefits.

<p><h3><strong>Help with the application process</strong></h3></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access and Recovery (SOAR) is a national project funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration that is designed to increase access to SSI and SSDI for eligible adults who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and have a mental illness, medical impairment, and/or a co-occurring substance use disorder. The SOAR project provides training on how to complete the SSI/SSDI application to service providers working with individuals experiencing homelessness. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Visit the SOAR website at <a class="disclaimer" href="https://soarworks.prainc.com/">https://soarworks.prainc.com/</a>. SOAR services are available in all 50 states. To learn more about SOAR providers in your area, visit <a class="disclaimer" href="https://soarworks.prainc.com/">https://soarworks.prainc.com/</a>. </p>
