until several years ago, we partnered with the ucla department of health poverty research to calculate a more representative measure of what it takes to cover all of your basic needs. not just the cost of food, but health care, housing, and transportation. what you see is that here in san francisco it is closer to $27,000 per year for an older adult to meet basic needs. i wanted to reiterate something that dan covered in his, which is that this produces an eligibility gap. when you compare the federal poverty guidelines against the elder index, you are missing an entire population that falls between the gaps of these bars as to who is not making these ends meet. based on the analysis from several years ago, 61% of older adults here in the city and county of san francisco are not able to meet their basic needs. closer to 65,000 older adults. given the rise in recent years, compared to the decreases in sources of income, we can unfortunately only imagine that that number is bigger today that it was before. the federal poverty guidelines pines 9% falling below. there is a huge differentia
