"If you want to learn about a culture, listen to the stories. If you want to change the culture, change the stories." Michael Margolis

Your community talks!

Our MISSION

To bridge the gap between vulnerable metropolitan Washington, D.C. residents and crucial health and community resources through education, creating avenues of access, and empowering individuals to advocate for themselves and others. 

what we do

Through community workshops, we provide a safe place where people tell their stories and express their need for help. By meeting them where they are, we can encourage the use of appropriate and timely services.

Our work is the work of the long haul. Change will happen over time. Our conversations ignite sparks of hope, knowledge, and empowerment.

 

YOU can help create change!

What you know will help you grow

The Social Security and Supplemental Security Income disability programs provide assistance to people with disabilities.
​

The SSDI program pays benefits to you and certain family members if you are “insured.” This means that you worked long enough – and recently enough - and paid Social Security taxes on your earnings.

 

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program pays benefits to adults and children with disabilities who have limited income and resources.

​

While these two programs are different, the medical requirements are the same. If you meet the non-medical requirements, monthly benefits are paid if you have a medical condition expected to last at least one year or result in death.
