The City of Chelsea, through its Department of Housing & Community Development, and Housing Families are pleased to announce an expansion of housing legal services and housing stability programs for Chelsea residents confronting housing insecurity.
Through the legal clinic, residents experiencing evictions, disputes, and code issues can seek assistance from Housing Families’ attorneys and housing specialists. The City will coordinate services through the Eviction Task Force, in close collaboration with community based organizations, such as Housing Families, La Colaborativa, CAPIC, and The Neighborhood Developers.
As part of this partnership, Housing Families will imminently open a new office at 99 4th Street in Chelsea that’s accessible by public transit to meet the housing and eviction prevention needs of Chelsea residents, including free legal help, utility and rental assistance, case management, and emergency housing. Chelsea residents can receive assistance regardless of immigration status, income, or background.
Chelsea residents seeking legal services and financial assistance may contact Housing Families’ Chelsea office of the Homelessness Prevention & Legal Services Program at (781) 322-9119 x146 or probonolegalteam@
