Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

The mission of ASSIST is to officially advocate for and represent applicants with severe disabilities who are eligible for SSI and SSD benefits. ASSIST guides clients through all levels of the Federal Administrative claims review process. ASSIST is an income-generating service for its clients and a key element in the fight to end poverty. ASSIST's services, both guiding clients through the application process and educating other service providers on the process, benefit clients and the community.

  • In 2025 ASSIST continued to increase new revenue streams through grants and a Clackamas County Housing Division contract to serve more people with disabilities. Many grant requests were made following a robust grants calendar throughout the year. These severely disabled clients were helped to file Social Security Disability benefits (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income benefits (SSI) applications. We successfully completed 87 cases for our clients. Special outreach to organizations that serve vulnerable people in the Clackamas County metropolitan area were held.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
