DISABILITY BENEFITS HELP INDIVIDUALS TRANSITION FROM HOMELESSNESS TO PERMANENT HOUSING.
ELEVATE utilizes the training method endorsed by SAMHSA, known as the SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) program. This method is specifically designed to enhance accessibility to disability income benefits provided by the Social Security Administration (SSA). It equips individuals with the necessary skills to assist eligible adults experiencing or at risk of homelessness, who contend with serious mental illness, medical impairments, and/or co-occurring substance use disorders.
