[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 5062, member: 1697"] really it all goes hand in hand, ssi, houseing, food stamps, Medicaide, Liheap (utility asistance) if you get ssi you undoubtedly qualify for the rest. (if you are over 18 and living "independantly" ) In our city you can even apply to get a card for reduced fare public transportation, (disabled and elderly) I have a public transport card cuz of when we took the trains in the city, but we do not have public transportation by me. And to supplement the food stamps, there is also government commoditites foods. and then when those things are in place, our park district offers scholarships for recreational programs and in our community names go to charitable organizations during holiday times and sometimes people get holiday surprises. Many ppl who are "in the system" of ssi also can access lots of other programs as well, such as DORS (dept of rehabilitative services)- job training, "Pioneer Center" (job coaches and jobs within the system with mentoring in place and transportation pre arranged etc) ALL these go hand in hand together. - "IF" you get ssi. and in our area here there are some very nice living arrangements available thru houseing. (where I used to live there was nothing at all "nice") the parent of one of my kids friends father even bought a brand new very nice victorian style home, 5 bedrooms, a pool, etc and "rents it" to his adult dtr on ssi. she pays her 30% and the govenrrment pays the rest up to fair market value to the father. she has a lease and she still gets her food stamps and ssi etc and he holds title to the house and gets the income as if he were renting it out.
