Senior Legal Services provides free legal services to defend the rights of seniors and other vulnerable populations to quality housing, government benefits, and protection from exploitation and discrimination.
Our vision is a community where all seniors feel respected and secure—regardless of economic status, race, gender, or ability—and have equal access to legal services.
We serve low-income and vulnerable women and men over the age of 60 in Santa Cruz County.
We make sure that they have a safe place to live, we fight for their social security, and appeal cuts to health and disability benefits.
Thousands of low-income 60+ year olds in Santa Cruz County are at risk of losing their homes, reduced benefits, and higher barriers to get critical healthcare.
Your gift of any amount can ensure no senior has to face these challenges without legal protection.
Walking out of your office after the creditors’ meeting, I felt a lightness of being I had not felt in many, many months. I felt like a drowning person rescued by the Coast Guard.
