Federal funding for the legal and
financial services, along with
documeniation of elder abuse, ex-
pires at the end of August of this
Jear, ana . ore funding to support
existing progra mes and ad-
ministrative costs has declined in
percentage terms over the past few
years. ‘‘There needs to be recogni-
tion by all three levels of govern-
ment as well as corporations and
foundations, that agencies such as
NSCS cannot survive on new pro-
ject funding alone,"’ said Bogar-
dus.

Last year the agency, in its 15th
year, served approximately £0,000
people on the North Shore and
volunteers contributed 6,000 hours
of dime.
