Social services support
25
I will assist anyone with the applications and appeals related to: SSI/SSDI, MASSHEALTH, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, DTA/food stamps, MBTA RIDE, Boston Housing Authority, And LIHEAP. I will also assist in finding funding to pay off overdue utility bills and transition from homelessness to independent living. I have extensive knowledge of CORI appeals and processes as well as social services related to reintegration from incarceration. I currently work at the Boston Center for Independent living, I have a bachelors degree from Wheelock College in Social Work and I am currently pursuing a degree in nursing. I will assist you in obtaining any social services, however the process is a process we will have to go through together. I make no promises for gaining the supports you need, but I will always advocate on your behalf!
