Community Health
Law Project
Founded in 1976, the Community Health Law Project (CHLP) is a New Jersey statewide not-for-profit advocacy and legal service organization which provides legal representation and advocacy services to low-income individuals with disabilities and the frail elderly. The organization has traditionally specialized in services exclusively for these populations, although recently the organization has begun to provide broader services through the creation of medical-legal partnerships that offer the entire range of civil law. CHLP employs over 60 people, including attorneys, advocates, and support staff, who are skilled in working with these special populations. In its over 45 years of service, CHLP has represented more than 85,000 individual clients. Each year, it provides services to approximately 4,500 people in 5,000 individual cases. In addition, CHLP educates thousands of practitioners of law, health, and social work as well as consumers and families through conferences, hotlines, special programs and its website at www.chlp.org.
