FAQ

Who is eligible for MLP | Boston's legal services?

All of our legal services originate from “case consults” from front-line health care staff who have screened their patients for potential non-biological barriers to health. Providers at the following health care institutions are able to seek case consults with us on behalf of their patients:

• BMC
• Codman Square Health Center
• Dorchester House Multi-Service Center
• East Boston Neighborhood Health Center
• South Boston Community Health Center
• South End Community Health Center
• Upham’s Corner Health Center

During a case consult, MLP | Boston staff will determine whether the patient is income-, subject matter-, and otherwise eligible for a legal clinic appointment. We generally only provide legal services to households whose total income does not exceed 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
