APPROVE GRANT APPLICATION FOR DECEMBER 20, 1991
SSI OUTREACH PROJECT
BACKGROUND
The Social Service Department, together with a variety of public
agencies and community-based organizations, developed a proposal
for a model program designed to expand SSI outreach activities in
order to increase the number of successful SSI applicants who
depend on Social Security income for their survival. This
program will increase outreach to populations who are not being
reached by current efforts, such as frail elderly, homeless, and
mentally incompetent persons.
The SSA grant proposal has been submitted in an effort to fund
this project for 12 months. The project is expected to result in
substantial cost savings to the County, leading to long-term
funding by the County and the realization of a replicab.le model
for a similar outreach approach in other poverty areas.
