Cuts for the Imperial Guardian Program for the elderly & disabled

Guardianship Program is a small organization that protects elderly and disabled people who have no one else to act as their legal guardians, has not been around long enough to stand out in the labyrinth of social service agencies and nonprofit groups that work on behalf of the city’s most vulnerable residents. leaving more than 100 people who are served by the program to be transferred to other services, and ending what some advocates viewed as a promising model for revamping the state’s troubled guardianship program. If this Program falls, who will protect the elderly and disabled people?
