Learn more about how medical-legal partnerships have helped various vulnerable populations throughout the years. IMPACTO DE LAS ASOCIACIONES MÉDICO-LEGALES Ayudando a la comunidad resolviendo problemas sistémicos Las asociaciones médico-legales en todo el país han tenido un gran impacto y han mejorado la salud y el bienestar de muchos. The Problem: Erie Family Health Centers in Chicago repeatedly saw patients with lead poisoning & were prevented from moving and still maintaining federal housing assistance. The Action: Erie Family Health's Medical-Legal Partnership with Loyola University School of Law and LAF Chicago built a multi-state coalition and petitioned the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to update its federal lead regulations. The Resolution: After petitioning and engaging Congress members, the proposed lead regulation changes were enforced successfully in January 2017. Currently, “The Lead Safe Housing for Kids Act of 2019”,a proposed bi-partisan bill, would require lead hazard risk assessments and controls in all federally assisted housing.
