SOARing in Kentucky
The SOAR State Team Lead in Kentucky (contact information above) also acts as the State PATH Coordinator with the Kentucky Department of Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities. All PATH agencies have SOAR-trained staff. It aims to increase access to the disability income benefit programs administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) for eligible adults who are homeless or who are at risk of homelessness.
Expectations of Participation in SOAR
Individuals may become eligible to utilize the SOAR model by completing the SOAR Online Course. Prior to beginning the online curriculum, individuals are encouraged to contact the State Team Lead to discuss their training needs and expectations. The ability to submit SOAR applications is contingent upon following the local SOAR process.
SOAR-trained individuals will also be connected with the State Team Lead, the your SOAR Center Liaison, and Local SOAR Leads. Any of these persons may be contacted for information or questions at any time about SOAR and they are available to assist with connections to SSA and DDS offices in the state. Additionally, the state SOAR team provides virtual training for the following: SOAR Online Course Cohorts, SOAR Online Course Reviews, ongoing technical assistance, and the implementation of a collaborative local process that includes state specific SOAR guidelines. Additional trainings can be provided upon request. For more information, contact the State Team Lead (contact information above).
