Are these for profit, not-for-profit? Where do they originate? How to find one?

Least Restrictive Alternatives

Community Resources/Natural (Unpaid) Supports, cont'd

Money Management Strategies –

Bill payment services make sure that, at the very least, routine bills are paid on time, checkbooks are balanced, and insurance claims are submitted for reimbursement.
Direct deposit, electronic payment, and joint accounts – Banks offer a variety of services and tools to help manage a person’s funds. Sometimes if there are problems with keeping track of a person’s money, it can be solved by a direct deposit of income payments.

Bank accounts can be set up to pay regular bills such as telephone, insurance, cable, rent, or mortgage. Withdrawal limits reduce exploitation and unwise spending. Joint signature accounts require two signatures, or simple for a second signer when the person is ill or unable to sign checks. (???)

Each of these money management strategies enables a family member or friend to monitor or use the person’s account to pay bills and meet other routine financial obligations without involving a formal, external bill paying service.
