Explanation of terms above:
************KIOSK?
Kiosks are interactive computer's that interlock information for deliery.

Kiosks: Kiosks need to be developed thus:
Vital Records data is the starting point. Otherwise there is alien registration &C.

Once one’s identity is established, via print record from Vital Records then
Interface the Vital Records, birth data, with history or “Tax Status” regarding
last income, to indicate eligibility with immediate needs: food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare and Housing, Job training and Personal Development.

Immediate “Status for emergency housing would entirely on the basis of need; it would consist of”: Social Security Number, Birth/Citizenship proofs. In flux you would identify is the individual is entitled to SSD/SSI I&C.

Job search could begin immediately, The Department of Labor’s database should be open to the public via Kiosk. One could walk into HRA and query what jobs are available for their profession and then Obtain a print out of jobs available in last field of employment.

Immediate Priority referral for job training and placement.

A Kiosk would function as a catch all, it would deliver the necessary documentation, Availability and resources necessary to assist one and rescue one immediately from homelessness.

Ancillary plans need to be made if psychiatric evaluation, chemical detox or domestic violence are present. Work would not be an immediate goal; domestic assistance housing and Preparation may be necessary too.

Essentially a working Kiosk would:
Data entry and computer interfaces are necessary between: HRA, OMH, SS Admin and Department of Labor. Sharing of available information speeds delivery to services.

The Plan:

You would merge: Social Security eligibility, work record and jobs available in that field.

This would be between HRA & Department of Labor’s Database, as well as Social Security, Department of Taxation and finance &C...

You would document: Social Security Administration’s data on eligibility status.
Essentially:
Your Social Security Number would interact with Department of Labor’s records on you. It would impart data, such as whether one is eligible for Social Security/SSI, Medicaid, Medicare and the like.

Your birth data is required. A new driver’s license temporary card could be issued at once. It takes too long under our current system to save people from the streets.

These elements would allow anyone, clinician or lay-person the opportunity to help people change, improve or begin life a-new.

The concepts here are applicable to anyone who wants to be in a better place. The goals belong to each individual and are self-determined for community inclusion. In fact, the plan, once honed by rehabilitation of the homeless, needy and or chemically dependent, is intended to be extended to all Americans – one at a time.

Thank you! For reading thus far. I hope to hear from you soon. Be happy, healthy and well.
Sincerely,
Rosemarie Dundon
