The SSI Ohio Project is a model pilot program developed by the
Interagency Council on Homelessness and Affordable Housing and
administered by COHHIO since June, 2008. The Community Action
Commission of Fayette County became a SSI Ohio site in July 2011.
It expands the Ohio Benefit Bank (OBB) to include SSI and SSDI benefits.
The OBB is a program that helps low and moderate income Ohians gain
access to work supports and other public benefitsthat help lead to
financial stability. The SSI Ohio Project helps individuals 18 and
older who are dealing with homelessness and/or mental health issues
obtain benefits. |
Goals:
Expedite the SSI/SSDI Application Process
Reduce Barriers to Apply for SSI/SSDI
Increase the number of homeless and disabled individuals receiving
benefits |
