Chat with Harriet Kim

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.

Not sure where to begin? Try asking Harriet Kim:

  • “How did the Silver Transit Pass change how Medicare Advantage plans handle transportation benefits?”

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Harriet Kim help draft California AB 1217 (2022) on elder care workforce protections?
Yes, she co-authored the caregiver wage transparency provisions after documenting how 68% of home care agencies in Alameda County underreported hours via paper time sheets. Her testimony included audio recordings of aides describing being paid flat $40/day for 14-hour shifts. The law now requires digital timekeeping with real-time wage verification accessible to workers via SMS.
What’s Harriet Kim’s stance on age-friendly city certification programs?
She supports them only when tied to enforceable benchmarks, like requiring cities to publicly disclose wait times for ADA-compliant curb cuts or the percentage of senior center staff trained in trauma-informed dementia response. She declined to endorse the WHO Age-Friendly Cities framework until it added mandatory equity impact assessments for gentrifying neighborhoods.
Has Harriet Kim worked with tribal elder councils on healthcare sovereignty?
Since 2020, she’s advised the Pomo Tribal Health Consortium on integrating traditional healing practices into CMS-certified PACE programs. This included co-developing consent forms in Central Pomo and negotiating with Kaiser Permanente to allow licensed tribal medicine people as covered behavioral health providers under Medi-Cal.
What’s an example of Harriet Kim’s work challenging algorithmic bias in elder services?
In 2021, she exposed how Los Angeles County’s automated 'frailty scoring' tool excluded seniors using mobility scooters from priority housing lists because it only recognized walkers and canes as 'assistive devices.' Her audit led to recalibration of the algorithm and inclusion of 12 additional mobility device categories in the county’s eligibility matrix.
