Disability Issues

My research indicates the federal government has grossly underfunded rent and home ownership financial assistance for Social Security disabled individuals. The primary source of federal government financial assistance is through HUD’s Section 8 Homeownership Assistance and Rental Assistance. There doesn’t seem to be set aside slots for Social Security disabled persons in either HUD program. Thus Social Security disabled persons are competing with low income nondisabled persons for federal government Homeownership Assistance and Rental Assistance.

I think there is a need for a project to solicit charitable foundations and or wealthy philanthropists to fill the Homeownership Assistance and Rental Assistance needs of Social Security disabled persons.

I have read the book titled “Fiscal Sponsorship: Six Ways To Do It Right” by Gregory L. Colvin (Study Center Press, 1993, 2005). The following is an explanation of fiscal sponsorhip.

The common theme was that some enterprising person or group wished to conduct a charitable program (and attract tax-deductible contributions), but without incorporating or obtaining Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recognition of the project’s Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(3) tax exemption. An existing 501(c)(3) “fiscal agent” would be recruited to receive grants and donations to support the project, which would then be disbursed in the form of payments to employees, vendors, contractors, or grantees.

I being an enterprising person am seeking an existing 501(c)(3) “fiscal agent” to receive grants and donations to support this Homeownership Assistance and Rental Assistance for Social Security disabled persons project.
