Learn how the programs have adapted to the shelter-in-place orders while continuing to meet the needs and maintain the health of the population they serve and how plans for the future are evolving as the county reopens. Get an update on what is known with regards to Governor Newsom’s proposed cuts to senior services and the possible effects on the agency and the community the HSRC serves.
