In 2006, we launched the Disabled Homeless Advocacy Project, the first and only project of its kind in the region, to proactively identify and assist disabled homeless individuals who have "slipped through the cracks" of the state and federal safety net programs that provide cash and medical assistance to the disabled and to help them obtain benefits to which they are entitled and that will help them to move toward financial and medical stability. DHAP staff and volunteers hold clinics at local homeless shelters, and may provide information, advice, advocacy and direct legal representation to qualified individuals throughout Social Security's application and appeals process.
