The Massachusetts COVID Eviction Legal Help program gives free legal help to low income tenants and owner-occupants living in 2- or 3-family houses in Massachusetts.
To be eligible:
- Your household income must be under 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
- The eviction must be related to COVID.
CELHP will provide advice, referrals, legal information, and legal representation. A lawyer can help advise you about your case, fill out court papers, respond to quickly deadlines, and prepare your case for court.
If you are eligible for CEHLP you will get legal help in Housing Court. Some programs may also be able to help if you are in District Court or if you are at risk of losing your housing subsidy before or during court.
