Cupertino, CA 95014 Project Type: ^ Single Family ^ Homeownership [] New Construction ^ Mixed Use ^ Multifamil ^ Rental ^ Rehabilitation Public Service Project Description Please describe the project with as many details as possible. Include general information, such as the number of unlis, number or c:u errmo reslaems rnai wm oe serves, :>ervlces tnat wnl ~e rovloea, etc. SALA is a non-profit law oif-rce that provides free legal services to Santa Clara County residents age 60 or older, with an emphasis upon those who are low income or in social need. SALA's staff of 5 attorneys have expertise in problems common to our target population. SALA's attorney staff is augmented by 10 volunteer intake workers who assist with client interviews at senior centers and by 15 pro bono attorneys who provide Simple Wills through SALA's No Fee Wills Panel. Legal services (in the form of advice/refen:als, consultations, representation, and community education) are provided in the following areas: Public Benefits (Social Secwity, SSI, Medicare, Medi-Cal, In Home Supportive Services); Elder Abuse; Nursing Homes; Advance Health Ca~•e Directives; Consumer; Housing; and Simple Wills. SALA has served Cupertino seniors since 1979. From 1997-98 through 2000-2001, support from Cupertino's CDBG program enabled SALA to increase our number of half-hour ~ippointments at the Cupertino Senior Center from 4 monthly (the 1996-97 level) to 10 monthly (the 2000-2001 level). CDBG funds are requested for 2001-2002 to maintain SALA's current expanded service levels at the Cupertino Senior Center. SALA also proposes to continue home visits to Cupertino elders who are homebound or institutionalized. Clients with urgent legal problems will also be served on an "emergency" basis by telephone. Cupertino elders who appear at SALA intake sites in other cities will also be served. Prior to 1997-98, the waiting time for a SALA appointment at the Senior Center was 2 months or longer. As a result, only 42% of the Cupertino clients served by SALA from Jamrary to June 1997 were seen at the Cupertino Center, 16% were served by telephone, and the remainder (42%) had to travel to a SALA intake site in another city. The continued expansion of SALA's services for 2001-2002 will enable more Cupertino elders to be served locally instead of being forced to seek services at other SALA sites or forgoing services altogether because of transportation barriers to these sites. The long waiting time for a SALA appointment at the Cupertino Center will also be reduced. Since the initial service expansion in July 1997, approximately 75% of the Cuperiinc elders served were seen at the Cupertino Center. As detailed in the Project Work Plan, SALA will provide direct legal assistance to 50 Cupertino clients in 2001-2002. This goal includes all elders served through SALA's Cupertino project and not just those assisted through the service expansion at the Senior Center. SALA also proposes to conduct 1 community education presentation in Cupertino. There is no other funding to support the proposed expansion at the Cupertino Center. If less than $6,500 in CDBG is received, appointments at the Cupertino Center will be reduced proportionally. If $5,000 is received, SALA will provide our 1999-2000 service levels (96 appointmentsl40 clients served). )f less than $5,000 is received, it may not be feasible for SALA to provide a second monthly intake session at the ~~upertino Center. if no CDBG funding is received, SALA's services at the Cupertino Senior Center will be reduced to bi •monthly appointment sessions, at best, or could be eliminated alto ether. ~~ EXHIE'-T B' Project Work Plan Fiscal Year 2001-2002 Agency Name: Senior Adults Legal Assistance Date Prepared: 02/22/01 Project Name: Legal Assistance to Cupertino Elders Project No. Santa Clara County HCD For Delos use o~iy ,..:; :::::.:....... ~y .. ... :• .r:.rrr::: ::::::::..;..;• ....... ... ........:r::.::.rr:::. :, ~~~ : . t .. ~..x... .....•:.. ... ....:..... :.:............. ..... ~.,,•:.:.•::.::.:: ~..•.. .. t~:: •::.,•:.,•:.:;. •rrr. ...•rrr,.•:~.,:,;rrrr:•irr,i•.r;•.,;::;.,r:.:...:::.:~..,.:p ::,.:::.,.,;•::.::r.:. ~.. ... .. .. fllf~.
