What is it??
SOAR = SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access and Recovery (SOAR)
SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access and Recovery (SOAR) is a strategy that helps states to increase access to mainstream benefits for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness through training, technical assistance and strategic planning. SOAR currently works in 34 states and has replicated a model that has resulted in success rates on initial application of 71 percent compared to the usual 10-15 percent for applicants who are homeless.
