Human Relations Commission Grants-In-Aid Program
YEAR-END REPORT
Due: July 31, 2017
Organization: San Luis Obispo Syringe Exchange and Overdose Prevention Program
Program: San Luis Obispo Syringe Exchange and Overdose Prevention Program
Administrator’s Report: (A brief synopsis of the activities of the reporting period, including a statement of
the activities, service or programs provided as described in Exhibit B (your grant application) using the Grants-
In-Aid provided, and any changes that have occurred during the reporting period.)
During the reporting period, the GIA money supported providing sterile syringes and supplies for
the San Luis Obispo Syringe Exchange. These sterile supplies were exchanged for used
syringes, which are disposed of by the State Office of AIDS. As the only syringe exchange in the
city (and county!), it is an important access point for people who use drugs to keep themselves
and others safe from acquiring or spreading blood borne infections (HIV, Hepatitis C Virus). In
addition, because participants bring their used syringes to the exchange, it benefits the
community by disposing of these safely. We are also the only site that provides overdose
prevention training and free overdose prevention (Naloxone) kits to people who are injecting
drugs and their families. Thus, we are at the forefront of the fight against the opioid drug
overdose crisis in our community.
Statistical Report: (This section should include the number of clients served, their cities of origin, the nature
of services provided, as well as any other statistics which are kept by the agency. The total number of clients
served also should be broken down by the type of service received.)

Sterile syringes given out 107,215
New overdose prevention kits provided 90
Refill overdose prevention kits provided 109
Lives saved using overdose prevention kits 71
In addition to these data, the exchange collects sociodemographic data, and information on drug
use. Our participants are majority white (80%), male (65%) and relatively young (average
age=40). Many of our clients (46%) are also in unstable housing situations (homeless or
transitional), and about 16% self-report as infected with Hepatitis C Virus (though this number is
likely higher). Heroin is the most common single drugs of choice (50% use) followed by
methamphetamine (39% use). Prescription painkillers are another major category (over 50%,
combined use). All clients who came in exchanged syringes, and received a variety of other safe
injection supplies and access to testing and OD prevention training. Information on drug
treatment programs, health care options and other services are also available.
Financial report: (A financial statement detailing how the City’s grant money has been expended.)
The City's grant money has been used to purchase sterile syringes and needles as
well as other safe injection supplies. The bulk of the money has gone to the sterile
syringes and needles.
Naloxone (opioid overdose blocker)- $600.00

Human Relations Commission Grants-In-Aid Program
YEAR-END REPORT
Due: July 31, 2017
Organization: San Luis Obispo Legal Assistance Foundation
Program: Senior Legal Services Project
Administrator’s Report: (A brief synopsis of the activities of the reporting period, including a statement of
the activities, service or programs provided as described in Exhibit B (your grant application) using the Grants-
In-Aid provided, and any changes that have occurred during the reporting period.)
Senior Legal Services Project (the “Project”) continues to provide legal advice and representation and
community outreach throughout the City and County of SLO. The Project’s main office is in San Luis
Obispo where many of the client appointments are held. Due to a flood this year, the Project moved
its offices away from downtown and is now located near other partner agencies such as Department
of Social Services and the Long-Term Care Ombudsman’s office. The new location is an improvement
for our senior clients in that there is plenty of parking, close to public transportation and wheelchair
accessible.
In addition to the Directing Attorney, the program has grown to include a staff attorney this past year.
The program also has approximately 10 attorney volunteers who see clients by appointment in the
SLO office as well as the SLO Senior Center and other senior centers around the County. The
Directing Attorney and volunteer attorneys do community outreach and education throughout SLO
speaking to other service providers, recently at Adult Protective Services, Wilshire, and Meals that
Connect, about the services available. The Project works collaboratively with Adult Protective Services,
the D.A.’s office, the Court’s self -help programs and the Long-Term Care Ombudsman’s Office to try
to best serve the growing senior population. The Directing Attorney participates in the Adult Services
Policy Council, the Adult Abuse Prevention Committee, the First Responder’s Meetings, Court
Community Meetings for Self-Represented Litigants, and the Domestic Violence Task Force, all led by
agencies within the City of SLO.
The Project’s primary areas of assistance were housing, elder abuse, public benefits, debt problems,
and planning for incapacity (powers of attorney for finances and advance health care directives). The
Project continues to prioritize seniors at risk of losing safety, housing, and independence.
Statistical Report: (This section should include the number of clients served, their cities of origin, the nature
of services provided, as well as any other statistics which are kept by the agency. The total number of clients
served also should be broken down by the type of service received.)
The project provide direct legal services ranging from advise and consultation to full representation to
310 clients last year who reside in the County of San Luis Obispo, 59 of whom were residents of SLO
(about 19% of the Project’s total caseload). Of the 310 clients served, 65 were between the ages of
60 and 74, 128 were between 65 and 74 years old, 71 were between 75 and 84 years old, 38 were
age 85 or older and 8 declined to state. 70% of the Project’s clients last year were female. 271 (84%)
were frail, disabled, lived alone, housebound or institutionalized.
The Project provided advice, consultation, and/or representation to clients with the following legal
issues:
Powers of Attorney/Advance Health Care Directives/Wills: 97
Housing/Landlord-Tenant: 89
Bankruptcy/Debt Collection/Consumer Finance: 32
Elder Abuse/Individual Rights: 29
Medi-Cal/Social Security/SSI/Income Maintenance: 42
Other (family, health care, employment, misc): 21
In addition, we provided limited advice and referrals to approximately 400 people during the fiscal year.
Hundreds of additional seniors received education through our community outreach efforts.
Financial report: (A financial statement detailing how the City’s grant money has been expended.)
The City’s grant of $2,000 was deposited into the Project’s general operating account. Each month
those monies are used to pay wages, purchase postage and office supplies, pay for the telephone,
fax and internet, pay for a bookkeeper as well as insurance premiums (workers compensation,
general liability and professional liability). The Project’s federal grant money that is administered
through the Area Agency on Aging requires a certain percentage of “matching funds” and the City’s
grant money counts toward that.
