Representative Payee Program
Representative Payee Program
Description
Tenderloin Housing Clinic’s Representative Payee program provides representative payee services to low-income individuals residing in San Francisco and receiving benefits from the Social Security Administration (this includes SSA, SSDI, and SSI). Clients must be permanently housed or must be willing to seek permanent housing at the time of program entry. The program assists clients with their housing search. The program helps clients receiving Social Security benefits budget their income amount in a way that allows them to pay their essential bills and meet essential needs, first and foremost. This includes rent, food, and utility bills.
