The Mental Health Law Project (MHLP) of MFY Legal Services provides
advocacy services, including consultation and direct representation, to
mental health consumers who are enrolled in CSS programs, to persons who
are New York/New York eligible, to patients who are hospitalized in the
psychiatric wards of HHC hospitals, to persons deemed seriously and
persistently mentally ill under the Reinvestment Act, residents of
community residences, supported and supportive housing, and residents of
adult homes. 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

providers and inpatient psychiatric staff at HHC hospitals.
