| SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery Program (SOAR) |
| SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) is designed to increase
access to the disability income benefit programs administered by the
Social Security Administration
(SSA) for eligible adults who are homeless or at risk of homelessness
and have a mental illness and/or a co-occurring substance use disorder.
Many adults with co-occurring disorders who are homeless have trouble completing the SSI/SSDI application process and, consequently, have no consistent source of medical care. SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) can help. SOAR is designed to improve access to Social Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for people who are homeless with disabling conditions such as co-occurring disorders. Individuals can use the cash assistance from SSI/SSDI to access housing as well as medical and behavioral health services through Medicaid. |
| The program serves homeless individuals in the following counties: Antelope, Burt, Cedar, Cuming, Dakota, Dixon, Dodge, Knox, Madison, Pierce, Stanton, Thurston, Washington and Wayne counties |
