Individuals living in Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) are eligible for SOAR services. Housing status (i.e. living arrangement) and receipt of vouchers or other in-kind support can impact eligibility and benefit amounts for SSI and SSDI. Understanding the impact of living arrangements, vouchers, income from work, and rent obligations can help individuals maintain their benefits and housing.

Individuals applying for or receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can work. Individuals should contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) for comprehensive information regarding eligibility for benefits and visit the SSA website to learn more about eligibility criteria.
