The SOAR Program is a national program designed to increase access to the disability income benefit programs administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) for eligible individuals. Eligible individuals include those who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness and have a mental illness, medical impairment and/or a co-occurring substance use disorder.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide income benefits to those who suffer from disabling conditions that impede their functioning and impact their ability to work.
​
1. Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Needs-based program for adults or children who are blind, disabled, or elderly with low income/resources.
​
2. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Program for blind or disabled adults who are insured through employee and employer contributions to the Social Security Trust Fund.

Please note, if you have previously received SSI/SSDI, you may be entitled to expedited reinstatement as long as you request an expedited reinstatement within 5 years from the month your benefits stopped.
We are here to support you during this process. This will entail regularly scheduled meetings and disclosure of personal health information.
