We provide free legal services to San Francisco seniors and adults with disabilities living in San Francisco. During the 2022-23 fiscal year Legal Assistance to the Elderly provided legal advice and/or representation to over 1700 clients. Most clients are long-term San Francisco residents, who have given decades of their lives to making the city the vibrant and diverse place that it is today. Our client base in 2022-23 was a majority BIPOC: 21% Asian, 19% African American/Black, 16% Latinx, one percent Native American, 5% Other and 38% white. About 90% of our clients are seniors and 10% are adults with disabilities. A majority of our clients identify as women (54%) and 10% identify as LGBTQ. About 60% of our clients are frail or disabled and 13% are homebound or in a medical facility. Many clients face barriers created by language, culture, and immigration status. Twenty percent of clients are non-English speakers: primarily monolingual Chinese speakers and monolingual Spanish speakers. Our clients are also overwhelmingly low income: 60% of our clients have incomes of less than $1415 per month (or 125% of the Federal Poverty level). Using HUDs income levels for San Francisco, 95% of our clients are considered very low or extremely low-income. This financial vulnerability means that our clients are often separated from homelessness or institutionalization only by the loss of one paycheck or benefit check, or by a worsening health condition. During this fiscal year we have assisted clients in the legal areas including: housing preservation/eviction defense, end of life planning, consumer debt defense, healthcare advocacy, income maintenance/ public benefits (Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, pensions, etc.), and physical and financial abuse protection. We also were funded as the lead agency for the Excelsior Legal Collaborative (ELC), which is providing legal services to San Francisco's Supervisorial District 11 and focuses its work on housing preservation/eviction defense, workers' rights, and immigration. 3599849 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 35 0 true 38 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true false false CA X X Laura Chiera 4155383333 1663 Mission Street Ste 225 San Francisco CA 94103 Laura Chiera Executive Direc 38.00 0.00 X 156944 0 0 Thomas Drohan Dir of Litigation 40.00 0.00 138825 0 0 Barbara Lam Sup.Atty in Housin 40.00 0.00 115775 0 0 Judy Hitchcock Sr. Staff Atty 40.00 0.00 109698 0 0 Monica Castillo Sup.Atty in FIST 40.00 0.00 105504 0 0 Courtney Burris Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roger B Levin Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hannah Kim Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Johnson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Donna Seid Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Keith Rockmael Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mischelle Mandel President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Matthew Brinegar Secretary 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vanessa Pena-Hallinan Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Isaac Safier Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vanessa Deniston Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 626746 5 false true false 0 4425816 234280 4660096 Legal fee income 900099 34356 34356 34356 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other Income 900099 14060 14060 14060 4708512 48416 0 0 0 0 156943 45460 84465 27018 0 2529963 2269055 244796 16112 0 325735 279779 41866 4090 299085 260204 32899 5982 0 0 43400 43400 0 0 0 271459 271459 0 0 13837 10038 3649 150 0 190457 169991 20466 8908 4893 4015 0 18565 15460 3060 45 0 0 0 32834 32172 662 Office supplies 67893 49482 17014 1397 Client costs 60747 60572 175 Legal research resources 32109 32109 Human services 29408 29408 135715 99175 26623 9917 4217058 3599849 552498 64711 200 200 1355650 1952154 590498 1080247 0 0 0 0 0 30936 47557 114188 114188 0 0 0 0 0 17982 1146914 1995266 4227072 886826 1498246 1128932 886826 2627178 X 1000438 1194064 108002 405830 1108440 1599894 1995266 4227072 491454 X true X true X true false X 1310906 2634059 2961314 3355545 4660096 14921920 0 0 1310906 2634059 2961314 3355545 4660096 14921920 0 14921920 0 0 18352 32021 14060 64433 14986353 354876 0.99570 0.99550 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3900 3900 110288 110288 Deposits 17982 Right of use 1128932 1146914 Line of Credit 1128932 1128932 4708512 4708512 4708512 4217058 4217058 4217058 false false false false false false false false false Laura Chiera Executive Direc 156944 156944 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A copy of the Form 990 is provided to the board members for review and approval prior to filing with government entities.
