Senior Advocacy Network - Senior Law Project

Hello everyone! My name is Sinai Mendoza and I am currently interning at the Senior Advocacy Network. My mission is to increase awareness and understanding of the HomeShare program. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at (209) 497-6226.

Last night, I was feeling grateful for my home, my heat and my health in these dropping temperatures. But not everyone enjoys those privileges.

In Stanislaus County, SAN has spent over a decade standing up for and with Older Adults who traditional lack resources and access to resources that would help them secure their housing, pay their bills and thrive in our community.

So for this , we would love to be among the organizations that you donate to. Your dollars help a small, local nonprofit provide legal and housing services to our county's Older Adults. Beyond that, it also helps us create jobs in an equitable way right here in Modesto.

Donations can be submitted here: paypal.me/sanslp

Stay warm, stay engaged.

Go to paypal.me/sanslp and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Senior Advocacy is bringing the first of our many mobile legal clinics to seniors (60+) in Planada next week at the Bear Creek Apartment from 10am-2pm! Appointments are encouraged. Even if a senior is not the primary tenant or homeowner, they still have rights—we encourage those affected by the recent floods or other housing related issues to come and ask their legal questions. Family members are welcome to join the senior for the consultation.
