"Moving Ahead with PROMISE: Lessons Learned from Six Model Demonstration Projects Through the Promoting Readiness of Minors in Supplemental Security Income Project" is a new report from the Institute on Community Integration (MN UCEDD/LEND) and partners documents employment and wage gains among teens receiving federal disability benefits who had access to better social service coordination, job training, and educational opportunities under the Promoting Readiness of Minors In Supplemental Security Income (PROMISE) project.
The report was developed by ICI with the Association of University Centers on Disability as part of the PROMISE Technical Assistance Center. The Center worked with federal agencies and 11 states to design the project, which aims to reduce long-term reliance on SSI by improving job readiness programs. Challenges remain in both sharing information among agencies and creating effective job training services. Authored by David R. Johnson, Kelly Nye-Lengerman, and Amy Gunty of the MN UCEDD.
