"This grant will help us provide legal assistance to households at risk of homelessness so they can abate the legal crisis that has placed them at risk, and attain both housing and financial stability. It will also help provide outreach and education to the community and service providers about all existing protections under the law for those people facing homelessness. "

"Support from The New York Bar Foundation has helped us launch and grow our Pro Bono Program, which just had its most successful year ever. The grant helped us to leverage the resources to connect unrepresented litigants in Family Court with a volunteer lawyer who provides the information and advice they need to confidently advocate for themselves and their family in court. We are so grateful for our partnership with The New York Bar Foundation."
