About this Organization:
Legal Services for New York City - LSNY for short - is a network of legal assistance programs and offices that make access to the legal system a reality for low-income people throughout New York City who have no where else to turn. The LSNY programs provide legal assistance in our core practice areas of housing, family, and benefits, as well as in areas of growing importance to our clients such as consumer, education, foreclosure prevention, and disability rights. Our work helps thousands obtain benefits and preserves families and homes, and in doing so, saves taxpayers millions of dollars in public expenditures. We help the most vulnerable people in our society, including children who aren't receiving the child support they are entitled to, victims of domestic violence who need help and safe haven, people with AIDS and HIV, and the elderly, who need help fighting eviction or unsafe living conditions. Our Continuing Legal Education program offers the most comprehensive curriculum of classes in poverty law for advocates and attorneys found anywhere.
