Community Services Agency

Csa is partnering with the city of mountain view on a guaranteed basic income (gbi) pilot to support some of the lowest income members of the community with $500 monthly payments over two years. Csa enrolled 166 participants, who began receiving monthly payments on december 15, 2022. Part of a national study, this pilot will inform a comprehensive report by the university of pennsylvania available in 2025 on the effects of providing unconditional guaranteed income.

Csa's senior services program offers case management emphasizing access to health care and independent living with a focus on "senior fall prevention and "hospital to home transition care" to minimize costly hospitalizations and/or institutionalizations. Case managers assisted 207 seniors during the year. The senior nutrition center provided 45,384 prepared lunches during the year to 799 seniors.
