A ward of the Office of Public Advocacy (OPA) contacted the Ombudsman to complain that her guardian would not allow her to move to a different community so she can be closer to her children. According to the guardian and agency supervisor, the complainant currently receives only general relief funds which would be insufficient to afford housing in the community where she wished to relocate. However, the complainant had a Social Security Administration appeal pending for disability benefits. If she wins her appeal, she will receive additional income and OPA agreed to reconsider her request to move. The response appeared reasonable to the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman advised the complainant if she still disagreed with OPA’s position on her housing, she would need to follow through with the court. (A2016-1534)
