Another common topic was the need to address the housing <br />crisis facing seniors in the County. Forum participants noted that elderly renter households experience <br />numerous housing issues, including cost burden. The primary needs that were identified include: <br />• Comprehensive services at homeless encampments (e.g., outreach, health, referrals) <br />• Food assistance and nutrition programs for low income families, seniors and disabled individuals <br />• Health care services for seniors and low income families <br />• Mental health care services for homeless and veterans <br />• Accessible and affordable transportation services <br />• Free, year-round programs and activities for youth (e.g., recreation programming, sports) <br />• Services that reduce senior isolation <br />• Increased funding for and coordination of service providers of vulnerable populations <br />How were these needs determined? <br />The community needs assessment survey was conducted and community meetings were held to obtain <br />citizen and stakeholder input on public service needs. <br />Consolidated Plan REDWOOD CITY 61 <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) <br />
