HELP: MLP is excited to announce that we will be expanding our Nursing-Legal Partnership services to families participating in home visiting programs across Philadelphia. The newly created Family Advocacy and Integrated Resources (FAIR) Project, a collaboration between HELP: MLP, National Nurse-Led Care Consortium (NNCC), and Philadelphia Department of Public Health, will provide free legal services and financial resources to up to 2,100 families in Philadelphia over the next two years. HELP: MLP will work closely with project partners and evidence-based home visiting programs to screen for social determinants of health, identify emerging legal needs early, and take a preventative approach to legal services to reduce family stress and foster the stability families need to thrive. The FAIR Project is supported by a generous grant from the William Penn Foundation.
To support this expansion, HELP: MLP and NNCC are seeking to fill several full-time positions:
- Executive Director (HELP: MLP)
- Staff Attorney (HELP: MLP)
- Intake Coordinator (HELP: MLP)
- Paralegal (HELP: MLP)
- Public Health Project Manager (NNCC)
