Here are the challenges• Housing is a major area of stress as at least 10% of our clients
have been homeless, at risk of eviction, or very inappropriately housed.
• Being on the phone with other referral agents takes a longer time• Contact with clients take hours: Roughly 10 – 20% are
experiencing anxiety due to new medical diagnosis. And, approximately 15% are dealing with grief – death of a spouse or partner or child.
• Engagement challenges: delusional thinking, paranoia, depression, anxiety, and trauma histories.
• Ability to assess client is not as accurate as it would be face-to-face
• Program relies on clinical interns to complement the work. One intern completed their work April 8th. The two others will finish in June.

Future Planning:• Close to half of the current clients are people of color. • Most likely see EMHOT serve 50% people of color in
the coming year. • We need to increase our capacity to serve non-English
speaking elders. At least half of Boston residents have a first language that is not English.
• Training for trauma response – complicated family dynamics in the coming year as a result of the recession that will follow COVID – 19
• Need to deal with unresolved grief due to COVID – 19• Be prepared to make face-to-face contact with client
if providers begin to limit outreach to assess the most vulnerable clients
