San Francisco Elder Financial Abuse Collaboration

The San Francisco Elder Financial Abuse Collaboration is an initiative to promote the financial wellbeing, independence and health status of vulnerable elders by improving civil responses to elder financial abuse.   The Collaboration has two primary objectives:

1. To comprehensively research and analyze existing programs, frameworks, and policies that address elder financial abuse, with a particular focus on civil legal remedies and,
2. To translate the findings into a blueprint that will guide San Francisco’s implementation of a comprehensive, coordinated civil response to elder financial abuse.

A key attribute of this project is that both objectives will be achieved through multidisciplinary collaboration and input from local stakeholders.  The project is led by an interdisciplinary partnership that is uniquely situated to conduct innovative and comprehensive research and to bring stakeholders together to advocate for improved responses to elder financial abuse.
