MISSION
Alternatives Plus LLC. is a small business entity which seeks to manage the finances of Social Security and VA beneficiaries who have been either diagnosed or adjudicated as incapacitated. The incidence of homelessness is high among this vulnerable population. Having their money managed by a neutral entity allows the assurance that their residential fees are always paid on time and their habitation is stable. Beneficiaries may voluntarily elect to access this service, as well. Alternatives Plus LLC is managed by a licensed Social Worker with years of experience servicing the needs of Veterans and non-Veterans in the mental health system. As the company expands it will offer additional services of case-management and coordination of community resources.
