Project Description
o~e~~o riccrriha tha -,r~lPrt with as many details as possible, Include general information, such as the number of
units, number of Cupertino residents that will be served, services that will be provtaea, etc.
SALA is a non-profit law office that provides free civil 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 approximately 10 volunteer intake
workers who assist with client internews at senior centers and by approximately IS pro bono attorneys who provide Simple
Wills through SALA's No Fee Wills Panel. Legal services (in the form of advice/referrals, consultations, representation,
and community education) are provided in the following areas: Public Benefits (Social Security, SSI, Medicare, Medi-Cal);
Elder Abuse; Nursing Homes; Advance Directives; Consumer; ]Mousing; and Simple Wills (through the Wills Panel).
SALA has served Cupertino seniors since 1979. In 1997-98 through 1999-2000, $5,000 from Cupertino's CDBG
program enabled SALA to increase our number of half-hour appointments at the Cupertino Senior Center from 4 monthly
(the1996-971eve1) to 8 monthly. CDBG funds are requested fo:r 2000-2001 to increase SALA's appointments at the
Cupertino Senior Center to 10 monthly. SALA also proposes to continue home visits to Cupertino elders who are
homebound or institutionalized. Clients with urgent legal probl~:ms 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 tune 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 January 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 proposed
expansion of SALA's services for 2000-2001 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 Senior Center will also be reduced: Significantly, since the
initial service expansion in July 1997, approximately 70% of tree Cupertino elders served were seen at the Cupertino Center.
As detailed in the Project Work Plan, SALA proposes to provide direct legal assistance to 50 Cupertino clients in
2000-2001. This goal for 50 clients 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 at
the Cupertino Center.
There is no other funding to support the proposed service expansion at the Cupertino Senior Center. If less CDBG
funding than the $6,500 requested is received, it may not be ecanocrucally feasible for SALA to provide expanded services
at the Senior Center at the frequency proposed (120 appointments annually). If $5,000 in CDBG support is received
(SALA's current funding level), current service levels (96 appointments at the Senior Center) will be provided. 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 altogether.
