Resources Available to Assist Seniors (65+) and Adults with Disabilities

During this difficult time, know that LACERS is here to support you. We have created a crisis response page on our website (lacers.org/crisis), as well as an external resources page (lacers.org/external-resources), to connect you with resources you or someone you know may need.

We are continuously updating our website with new resources as they become available. Please review the resources listed below, and check our website for further information. We will get through this together.
