Our Organization:
Legal Services NYC fights poverty and seeks racial, social, and economic justice for low-income New Yorkers.

For more than 50 years, we have challenged systemic injustices that keep people in poverty and provided legal services that help our clients meet basic needs for housing, income, economic security, family and immigration stability, education, and health care.

LSNYC is the largest civil legal services provider in the country; our staff of almost 700 people in neighborhood-based offices and outreach sites across all five boroughs helps over 100,000 New Yorkers annually.

We partner with scores of community-based and client-run organizations, elected officials, law schools, public agencies, pro bono lawyers, and the courts to maximize our effectiveness.
