Free assistance and help is available to seniors and adults with disabilities

The Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) funds the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) at Canon Kip Senior Center, Episcopal Community Services of San Francisco.

The ADRC provides Information and Assistance services in English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Russian at the Canon Kip Senior Center and outstations throughout the city. These services are provided to Seniors age 60 and above, as well as younger people with disabilities age 18–59.

The ADRC serves as a one-stop shop for community members to find assistance in accessing services and resources. The ADRC provides consumers with information so they will be more aware of their rights and assist consumers to remain living independently in the community.

The ADRC will work closely with The Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) Integrated Intake and other disability organizations to provide more efficient information and referral services to seniors as well as younger adults with disabilities.

Some of the services that are provided by the ADRC are:

Translation, assistance with completing forms such as:
Home Energy and Assistance Program (HEAP)
Clipper
In Home Support Services (IHSS)
Referrals to resources in the community
Housing opportunities
