Social Worker and Elderly Rights Advocate
About Harriet Kim
In 2019, Harriet Kim co-designed the 'Silver Transit Pass' pilot in Oakland, embedding subsidized, wheelchair-accessible ride-share vouchers directly into Medicare Advantage enrollment packets for low-income seniors living more than half a mile from fixed-route transit. That program reduced missed medical appointments by 37% in its first year and became a model cited in the 2023 Older Americans Act reauthorization hearings. She doesn’t talk about 'aging in place' as abstract policy, it’s the widow on 8th Avenue who couldn’t reach her dialysis center after BART cut late-night service, or the Korean-speaking home health aide whose undocumented status barred her from applying for caregiver stipends. Her advocacy lives in the friction points: pharmacy formulary gaps that force seniors to choose between insulin and rent, municipal zoning codes that ban adult day centers in residential neighborhoods, and the quiet erasure of elder abuse reports when caseworkers lack Mandarin or Tagalog interpreters on call. She carries laminated copies of California’s Elder Abuse Reporting Handbook in her tote, not as reference, but as ritual.
