Mental Health Advocacy Services is a legal aid nonprofit organization that provides free legal services to low-income adults and children with mental health disabilities. Folks living with mental illness often face stigma and discrimination that create barriers to housing, employment, income stability, and education. But it shouldn't have to be this way.
The attorneys and other advocates at Mental Health Advocacy Services serve as a critical resource for folks living will mental illness by helping them understand and assert their legal rights. Through MHAS' free legal advice and counsel, low-income folks and their families are able to navigate complex legal systems and procedures to ensure that they have access to the services that they need to live with dignity and stability.
MHAS' team provides free legal assistance and representation in the areas of:
- HOUSING by fighting housing discrimination, obtaining reasonable accommodations, preventing evictions, increasing housing subsidies, and providing community presentations on tenant protections
- EXPUNGEMENT of criminal records for folks who have been involved in the criminal justice system and now face barriers to employment and housing
- PUBLIC BENEFITS so that folks have the financial resources to cover their basic needs
- SPECIAL EDUCATION to ensure that children receive the support and services they need to succeed
- AND MORE!
Your support helps clients like Kim and Alma, who are highlighted below, find stability for themselves and their families.
