Mission and programs · 2024
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 2024 ASSIST continued to increase new revenue streams through grants and governmental contracts to be able to grow our operations to serve more people with disabilities in the Portland metropolitan area. Many grant requests were made following a robust grants calendar throughout the year. We received 667 referrals from community partners. We enrolled 81 new clients into the program. These severely disabled clients were helped to file Social Security Disability benefits (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income benefits (SSI) applications. We successfully completed 79 cases for our clients. By the end of the year, we had 101 open cases still in progress. Additional training sessions and introductory events were conducted for community partners to strengthen the understanding of ASSIST's work and expand our referral base. Special outreach to organizations that serve people of color have also happened throughout the year.

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.
