Community Resource Program & Peer Advocates

The Community Resource Program is dedicated to ensuring the rights of seniors and people with disabilities to live independently in the community. Our Peer Advocates help people as they navigate the complex web of home and community-based support services that can keep people living at home. Advocates give individual hands-on support for solving problems. By facilitating access to services and helping people resolve grievances when their needs are not being met, we hope to help more people remain in their homes and avoid unnecessary institutionalization.

If your paratransit application has been denied, if it’s taking too long to get your wheelchair repaired, if you’re having trouble getting the home care you need, contact us! You can give us a call, visit our office, and/or fill out our help form. We can assist you in resolving complaints, connect you to services that will make it easier for you to live in the community, and help you get connected to people who are working for change. Interpretation services available on the phone and in person.

This program is developed in partnership with the Independent Living Resource Center San Francisco to form Consumer Rights for Community Living (CRCL).
