Via Care is proud to announce a new partnership with Mental Health Advocacy Services to offer free legal assistance to those with mental health disabilities. 

​

Mental Health Advocacy Services is a private non-profit organization dedicated to providing free legal solutions to Angelenos with mental health disabilities to prevent homelessness.

​

In this community partnership, MHAS aims to collaborate with Via Care's case manager and manager providers to providing free bi-lingual legal services concerning housing in the East LA community. We believe families need safe and stable housing in order to thrive.
