REPRESENTATIVE PAYEE PROGRAM
The Rescue Mission supplies bill paying services through an agreement with the Social Security Administration and the Veteran’s Administration to people in the community who are at risk of homelessness due to being unable to manage their own financial affairs, irresponsibility and/or exploitation. The clients are referred by a variety of agencies in Oneida, Madison, Lewis and Onondaga counties. The program is also ready to assist people seeking assistance on their own. The staff assists clients by helping them with:
· developing a budget,
· payment of rent, utilities, living supplies and food or other needs,
· collaborating with other community services to insure that they
are living in a safe, clean and comfortable environment.
With over 20 years experience in Representative Payee Services, the staff members of this program have become skilled at dealing with past due bills and large debt loads. Clients have moved from thousands of dollars in debt, to debt-free living and even home ownership.
