Independent Living Resource Center San Francisco

09/04/2026

In addition to the DCC, GOAT partners with regional organizations serving similar needs, such as the Independent Living Resource Center of San Francisco (ILRCSF).

On Tune-Up Tuesdays, people come to San Francisco’s Disability Cultural Center to fix loose armrests and squeaky wheels. They often leave with a newfound sense of community.

“Being here is how I move from feeling stuck to having a direction,” Jen Holthaus, who is at the beginning of her wheelchair journey, explained, noting she gained practical tips and also felt less alone.

Good news for some of those to whom we owe a debt. There are tons of military vets living with disabilities, and not receiving the services and resources they need and are entitled to. Good news for some of those to whom we owe a debt.

Call To Action from our friends at Justice in Action:

Justice in Aging opposes the California Assembly’s plan to adopt Governor Newsom’s proposal to impose a $2,000 asset limit for older adults and people with disabilities to qualify for Medi-Cal.

California aging and disability network, please take action TODAY! Call Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel (916-319-2046), chair of the Assembly Budget Committee and Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (916-319-2029) – urge them to reject this proposal.

The Assembly’s suggested delay in implementation until July 1, 2027 does little to mitigate the harm of this cut. A $2,000 asset limit for Medi-Cal is simply a cruel requirement that unfairly penalizes older adults and people with disabilities.

Talking Points

I am opposed to the Assembly’s agreement to impose a $2,000 asset limit in Medi-Cal for older adults and people with disabilities.

Delaying this proposal is unacceptable, and the Assembly should fully reject this unfair and harmful proposal.

A $2,000 asset limit prevents people from having any savings, putting them one emergency away from financial ruin.

This should be a great workshop.

Have you had a repair or pest issue that a landlord just would not fix? This workshop will share red flags, best practices, and options for addressing an unsafe living environment while protecting your housing. We will discuss examples of habitability problems and what tenants can do to make sure the housing provider maintains the property and gives tenants a safe place to live.

After the virtual workshop, you will have the opportunity to get your questions answered in a one-on-one consultation.
