Most programs are still very numbers driven and have a hard time changing to impact driven work
Older Americans Act requires targeting to the most economical and socially needy
Cannot means test
![Page 23: Lessons learned from the first 13 model approaches to legal services delivery](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814868550346895db5768c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
A struggle for hotlines because most are used to helping all eligible callers
Hotlines have been effective in helping target III-B programs by triaging all clients to identify ones with priority cases
Use the needs assessment to help you determine what types of services are most important to your target population
![Page 24: Lessons learned from the first 13 model approaches to legal services delivery](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814868550346895db5768c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Hotlines can play a major role in establishing this seamless program
Use of “warm handoff” is a great benefit to clients
Use technology, such as automated case transfer, to help client and providers
Survey clients to make sure there is no breakdown in the process
