elderly, disabled, and handicapped to pay an affordable rent

terminates an individual from receiving Supplemental Security

WHEREAS, this reduction of Supplemental Security Income and/or termination
from Supplemental Security Income and medical coverage creates
an extreme hardship on elderly, handicapped, and disabled
individuals;
WHEREAS,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Seal
