2 <br />Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County – Homesavers: Preserving <br />Affordable Housing in our Community. Legal Aid’s Homesavers program <br />works to bring fairness to the county’s housing courts, helps to keep low-income <br />tenants in their affordable homes, and can mitigate the effects of a potential <br />eviction. Legal Aid does this by providing legal advice and services to about 100 <br />households – including nearly 20 Redwood City residents - each month at three <br />weekly housing clinics, including a Landlord/Tenant Clinic at the San Mateo <br />County Superior Court in Redwood City and a Tenant’s Clinic at the Fair Oaks <br />Community Center. Legal Aid attorneys, project staff, and trained pro bono <br />attorneys meet one-on-one with clients at the housing clinics where they answer <br />questions, provide legal advice, help with the completion of legal paperwork, and <br />explain to clients what to expect in the county’s housing courts. Funding <br />Requested: $20,000. Funding Recommended: $15,000. <br /> <br />Peninsula Family Service – Fair Oaks Adult Activity Center. <br />Peninsula Family Service strengthens the community by providing children, <br />families, and older adults the support and tools to realize their full potential and <br />lead healthy, stable lives. Funding from HSFA will support the core nutritional <br />and transportation services for older adults age 60 and over at the Fair Oaks <br />Adult Activity Center in Redwood City. These services are integrated with a menu <br />of services comprising the wellness model at the Fair Oaks Adult Activity Center. <br />The model is designed to make a long term impact on the health and wellness of <br />vulnerable, primarily low-income older adults/. Funding Requested: $20,000. <br />Funding Recommended: $10,000. <br /> <br />Peninsula Volunteers, Inc (PVI) – Meals on Wheels (MOW).
