SOAR (SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access and Recovery) is a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, community-based program designed to increase access to Social Security disability benefits. It’s an essential resource for individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness who have behavioral health and/or co-occurring disorders.
SOAR and access to SSI/SSDI benefits can be a key step on the road to recovery by providing a stable source of income for people with disabilities. It works across the lifespan, with diverse populations and within complex systems. It also builds a community infrastructure that supports case workers to better navigate the Social Security disability process.
In this webinar, participants will hear from some of the leaders behind SOAR and discover the essential elements for implementing a successful SOAR program.
