However, Tommy's conviction barred him from securing any of the jobs for which he had prepared. Instead, the only jobs available for Tommy were temporary minimum-wage jobs that all but disappeared during the pandemic.
A few weeks ago, Tommy and his MHAS Attorney appeared virtually before a judge to request an expungement of Tommy's past criminal conviction. MHAS argued that a felony expungement and dismissal would substantially improve Tommy's life and the judge agreed.
For the first time in nearly a decade, Tommy can now apply for his employment of choice knowing that he has an actual shot at being hired. MHAS is proud to be part of Project New Start, where people like Tommy can continue their path to mental health recovery and financial stability.
