Homeless Veterans Outreach in Philadelphia

Richard Gaudiosi, Social Security Administration (SSA) Philadelphia Public Affairs Specialist, Mary Ellen Sweeney, SSA Claims Representative, and Carlos Araujo, SSA Management Support Specialist, assisted homeless veterans at “Stand Down”, an outreach event designed to help homeless military veterans redirect their lives. The “Stand Down” was held at the National Guard Armory in Northeast Philadelphia.

This annual event gives homeless veterans the opportunity to meet with representatives of various government and social services agencies. They receive information on services available to veterans that can help them make positive life changes. Richard, Mary Ellen and Carlos hosted the SSA exhibit and answered many questions for the veterans. They also assisted several vets with Social Security Number Card applications. SSA has supported the "Stand Down" outreach event since its inception 12 years ago.
