MLRI Basic Public Benefits Advocacy Trainings

A series of trainings for legal, social and health services, and community advocates who assist individuals and families with low and moderate incomes.

MCLE and Massachusetts Law Reform Institute (MLRI) collaborate annually with a training series designed for both community-based organizations and public/private sector legal advocates who assist low income Massachusetts residents. The training series covers the nuts and bolts of federal and state public benefits, tax credits, tenant and utilities rights, and more.

All programs in this collaborative series are available via live and on demand webcast. Most programs are also offered in-person at MCLE's Boston Conference Center.
