Purpose of Payeeship

• Stability of income, and assurance that rent, food and other necessary expenses will be paid regularly
• Improves credit, money management skills and self-confidence
• Providing savings for larger, special purchases
• Ensures that client's financial entitlements do not lapse, and that money is spent appropriately
• Increases chance of achieving future life goals, such as sustained independent living

SafeHaven's payeeship/money management program helps protect mental health consumers from financial exploitation and abuse. It also prevents them from generating expenses associated with delinquent bills and duplication of services.
