I have hit nothing but walls over the past few weeks as far a medical care and other social services are concerned. I have been referred to a few places not requiring ID but this take several weeks and months to jump through other hoops and a quick trip between visits with my children (Mon and Wed in Queens) would facilitate medical testing and retrieval of paperwork to make the entire process of transferring to New York easier and faster. Thusly, processing my records more quickly and getting medical care and social services more quickly would enable me get the care I need and also get my children out of ACS more quickly.

Sadly it is possible that not only are we not a social service agency, but ill equiped to even handle "intake".

She has my contact info if she wants to get back in touch. As for the proposal I let her know that it is unrealistic to think it will pass as there is a spending freeze and also as OWS is not really equipped to evaluate and deal with these types of proposals.
