| WHO WE ARE |

The legal issues include eviction prevention, obtaining and preserving government benefits such as SSI, Medicaid and food stamps, and other legal issues with which enrollees may be presented. The MHLP is available to provide training and consultation to CSS teams, NY/NY service providers and inpatient psychiatric staff at HHC hospitals.
