Senior legal services is budgeted at $800,000 for FY 2026-27, with the county contributing far beyond the required $80,000 federal match — savings are the goal of the outsourcing study.

Low-income seniors who depend on the county's in-house attorneys and day care program could see service changes or provider transitions.
