Protecting the economic security and well-being of our seniors

sfhsa.webp

This program serving the community is funded by the City of San Francisco’s Department of Disability and Aging Services

Each day, physical and emotional abuse and financial exploitation threaten the wellbeing, mental health and economic security of our senior population! This year alone, an estimated 14.1 percent of all non-institutionalized older adults have experiences of physical, psychological, sexual abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation. Yet, for every case reported, another 23 cases of abuse go unnoticed. Over the past ten years we have provided legal services to over 3,000 low-income senior residents of San Francisco. Beware of Covid Related Scams Seniors are a prime target for Covid Related Scams. We’re providing a document to help you avoid these scammers.
