Name of Project/Program:
Legal Assistance to Cupertino Elders
Project/Program Location:
Cupertino Senior Center,21251 Stevens Creek Boulevard,Cupertino,California 95014
Project Description:
SALA will provide free legal assistance to Cupertino seniors (defined as persons age 60 or older)primarily
by continuing our expanded appointments at Cupertino Senior Center and by serving Cupertino seniors by
phone that are homebound or with emergencies. A minimum of 40 unduplicated Cupertino seniors annually
will be served. SALA will also make one community education/outreach presentation annually at a site in
Cupertino. Our project provides Public Service Activities,specifically Legal Services for Seniors because we
target our services exclusively to persons age 60 or older. Within the broad scope of legal services provided
by SALA, our project also provides Domestic Violence Prevention because we provide legal assistance with
Restraining Orders to prevent physical abuse of our clients that are victims of domestic violence or elder
abuse. Both of activities are indentified as Non-Housing Community Development Needs for Cupertino in
Section 4.10 of the Cupertino CON Plan.
SALA is a nonprofit law office providing free legal services to Santa Clara County seniors under the Older
Americans Act. SALA requests$9,800 for fiscal year 2015-16 to support SALA's expanded on-site legal
service appointments at the Cupertino Senior Center.The staff at the Cupertino Senior Center will continue
to schedule and confirm SALA appointments at their site and they will provide a private room for SALA
appointments. SALA will also 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.The project services will
be limited to seniors(persons age 60 or older)living within the geographic boundaries of Cupertino(i.e.,
Cupertino residents),targeting those who have low incomes.or are at risk of isolation,abuse,or premature
institutionalization(age 75 or older,living alone,or disabled). SALA's statistics for Cupertino elders for
2013-14 indicate 65%were very low income(at or below 50%of the county median income level)and 55%
were age 75 or older(a demographic indicator placing them at risk).According to the Council on Aging Area
Plan on Aging for 2009-2012,which includes demographics for the age 60 population in Santa Clara County
from the 2000 Census data,of the 218,931 county residents age 60 or older,37%are very low income and
33.5%are age 75 or older. SALA's statistics for 2013-14 also indicate 69%of our Cupertino clients were
female and 49%identified themselves as minority elders. SALA expects similar demographics for Cupertino
clients served in 2015-16. SALA will provide a full range of legal services(advice/referrals,
consultations/brief service,and legal representation)to Cupertino seniors in these areas:Public Benefits;
Housing;Elder Abuse/Domestic Violence;Nursing Homes/Alternatives;Advance Health Care Directives;
Incapacity Planning,Consumer(Medicare HMO/Medi-Gap Insurance);Personal Affairs. Simple Wills will
also be provided through SALA's pro bono No Fee Wills Panel or though SALA's Self Help(do it yourself)
packets.One community education/outreach presentation will also be made annually at a site in Cupertino
targeted to seniors,their families,or their advocates.With the funding requested SALA can maintain on-site
service levels at the Cupertino Senior Center at their current levels.This funding will pay for direct personnel
costs(salary/benefits/payroll taxes)for portions of two SALA attorney positions and two receptionist/
secretaries to support these service levels in Cupertino.No Cupertino funds will be used for overhead.

Name of Project/Program: -
Legal Assistance to Cupertino Elders
Project/Program Location:
Cupertino Senior Center,21251 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Cupertino,California 95014
Project Description:
SALA will provide free legal assistance to Cupertino seniors (defined as persons age 60 or older) primarily by
continuing our expanded appointments at Cupertino Senior Center and by serving Cupertino seniors by phone that
are homebound or with emergencies. A minimum of 40 unduplicated Cupertino seniors annually will be served.
SALA will also make one community education/outreach ;presentation annually at a site in Cupertino. Our project
provides Public Service Activities, specifically Legal Services for Seniors because we target our services exclusively
to persons age 60 or older. Within the broad scope of legal services provided by SALA, our project also provides
Domestic Violence Prevention because we provide legal assistance with Restraining Orders to prevent physical
abuse of our clients that are victims of domestic violence or elder abuse. Both of activities are indentified as Non-
Housing Community Development Needs for Cupertino in Section 4.10 of the Cupertino CON Plan.
SALA is a nonprofit law office providing free legal services to Santa Clara County seniors under the Older
Americans Act. SALA requests $9,800 for 2014-2015 (and for 2015-2016 if second year funding is extended) to
support SALA's expanded on-site legal service appointrrients at the Cupertino Senior Center. The staff at the
Cupertino Senior Center will continue to schedule and confirm SALA appointments at their site and they will
provide a private room for SALA appointments. SALA will also 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. The project services
will be limited to seniors (persons age 60 or older) living within the geographic boundaries of Cupertino (i.e.,
Cupertino residents), targeting those who have low incomes or are at risk of isolation, abuse, or premature
institutionalization (age 75 or older, living alone, or disabled). SALA's statistics for Cupertino elders for 2012-13
indicate 50% were very low income (at or below 50% of the county median income level) and 56% were age 75 or
older (a demographic indicator placing them at risk). According to the Council on Aging Area Plan on Aging for
2009-2012, which includes demographics for the age 60 population in Santa Clara County from the 2000 Census
data, of the 218,931 county residents age 60 or older, 37io are very low income and 33.5% are age 75 or older.
SALA's statistics for 2012-13 also indicate 67%of our Cupertino clients were female and 25%identified themselves
as minority elders. SALA expects similar demographics for Cupertino clients served in 2012-13. SALA will provide
a full range of legal services (advice/referrals, consultations/brief service, and legal representation) to Cupertino
seniors in these areas: Public Benefits; Housing; Elder Abuse/Domestic Violence; Nursing Homes/Alternatives;
Advance Health Care Directives; Incapacity Planning, Consumer (Medicare HMO/Medi-Gap Insurance); Personal
Affairs. Simple Wills will also be provided through SALA's pro bono No Fee Wills Panel or though SALA's Self
Help(do it yourself)packets. One community education/outreach presentation will also be made annually at a site in
Cupertino targeted to seniors, their families, or their advocates. With the funding requested SALA can maintain on-
site service levels at the Cupertino Senior Center at their current levels. This funding will pay for direct personnel
costs (salary/benefits/payroll taxes) for portions of two SALA attorney positions and two receptionist/secretaries to
support these service levels in Cupertino.No Cupertino funds will be used for overhead.
