The Housing Disability Advocacy Program (HDAP) is administered by the County of San Diego (County), Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), Department of Homeless Solutions and Equitable Communities (HSEC) to address the need for services for people who are disabled, or likely disabled and who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness. The program is projected to serve over 550 individuals over three fiscal years (FY 2021-2024), giving highest priority to chronically homeless individuals that rely most heavily on government funded services. From July 2022 through January 2023, a total of 154 participants were receiving services in the HDAP program. HDAP supports participants in meeting two important program goals: securing disability benefits and stabilizing in time-limited housing. The program offers outreach, case management, disability benefits advocacy, and housing subsidies.
