Community Health Law Project (CHLP) is a not-for-profit organization that provides legal representation and advocacy services to individuals with disabilities and the frail elderly. With a mission to assist those most vulnerable and in need, CHLP offers services such as legal and advocacy support, training, education, and related activities. Since its founding in 1976, CHLP has focused on serving low-income individuals with disabilities and the elderly.

However, in recent years, the organization has expanded its services to include medical-legal partnerships that cover a wider range of civil law issues. CHLP specializes in various areas, including public entitlements like Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability benefits, health insurance benefits such as Medicaid and Medicare, and housing advocacy. In addition to their core services, CHLP also publishes publications, newsletters, and annual reports.

They organize events like the Ann Klein Advocate Awards and the Law and Disability Conference, and they offer training and workshops. If you or someone you know is in need of legal assistance or advocacy support related to disabilities or chronic health conditions, CHLP is here to help. Contact them via phone at 973-275-1175 or email at chlpinfo@chlp.
