The Legal Aid Society`s Housing Law Practice provides important legal services to prevent homelessness among the city`s most vulnerable families and individuals, including representing clients at risk of eviction in non-payment and remains proceedings before the Housing Court. Through this work, we keep hard-working New Yorkers in affordable housing, get dangerous housing violations corrected, maintain and receive rent subsidies for customers, fight illegal rent overprices, and prevent evictions. These efforts prevent homelessness and displacement, saving the city and state millions of dollars each year in avoided costs for emergency shelter.
