Abstract

Obtaining Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for homeless disabled individuals is a policy concern. This case study analyzes the implementation of an SSI legal program for homeless populations. Perceived barriers to implementation included lack of connection to a medical provider and the chaotic drop-in shelter setting. Perceived facilitators included collaborative intraorganizational relationships and respectful approaches of the program staff, as clients needed to voluntarily return frequently. Homeless clients are often disabled but typically not so disabled where conservators apply for SSI on their behalf. This study depicts providers serving disabled clients who face challenges fulfilling responsibilities in their own application processes.
