As
some
of
you
know,
the
city
signed
a
contract
with
chelsea
legal
services,
inc
the
first
and
only
chelsea
base
legal
services,
non-profit
run
by
attorney
and
long-time
chelsea
resident
mark
zurasi.
The
contract
will
fund
chelsea
legal
services
to
expand
their
pro
bono
and
low-cost
legal
services
in
the
housing
sector
for
chelsea
residents.

Housing
legal
can
intend
to
reach
as
many
chelsea
residents
as
possible,
including
those
who
do
not
meet
income
eligibility
standards
with
other
service
providers
or
who
seek
legal
assistance
for
other
issues.
The
legal
clinic
is
there
to
solve
only
chelsea
residents
and
only
tenants,
even
if
there
are
elementary
events
that
are
at
oil.
This
legal
clinic
does
not
serve
landlords
or
health
learners
with
the
addiction.

We
are
currently
coordinating
closely
with
the
greater
boston
legal
services,
the
volunteers,
lawyers,
project,
chelsea
housing,
court
and
other
local
community-based
organizations,
just
as
the
chelsea
college
and
the
green
roofs
through
these
connections.
The
legal
clinic
will
not
only
just
help
finance
the
legal
process
but
help
to
provide
referral
services
to
housing,
social
programs
and
rental
assistance.
Health,
such
as
the
state's
wrath
and.

Furthermore,
this
clinic
is
committed
to
equal
access
to
justice
and
provides
both
hormonal
and
low-cost
assistance
for
chelsea
residents,
regardless
of
immigration
status.
Free
services
will
depend
on
income
eligibility
and
a
sliding
skill
is
available.
Please

the
chelsea

legal

We
are
strongly
encouraging
residents
who
received
official
and
unofficial
notice
to
put
letters
from
their
landlords,
property
managers
or,
in
some
cases
the
person
they
want
to
room
from
to
first,
do
not
leave
your
homes
and
number
two
contact
the
legal
clinic
as
soon
as
possible.
After
a

again,
their
number
is

If
you
ever
see
verbal
notices
to
quit,
in
which
the
lander
has
not
provided
anything
formally
written
so
has
only
verbally
told
you
to
leave
again,
do
not
leave
your
home

The
incident

record

write
down
when
the
incident
cleared.
What
was
exactly
said?
If
anyone
was
with
you,
if
I
can
witness
that
witness
a
verbal
eviction
attempt
and,
lastly,
and
most
importantly,
contact
the
legal
clinic
at.

Contacting
the
legal
clinic
and
other
law
enforcement
agencies
can
at
times
be
scary
and
a
daunting
thing.
We
understand
your
fears
of
not
wanting
to
escalate
the
situation
or
cause
more
harm
than
good.
We
have
the
city
are
here
to
help
and
provide
our
residents
with
resources
to
hopefully
help
in
these
difficult.
