Through our Foreclosure Prevention Projects, Legal Services NYC is at
the forefront of the national fight against predatory lending practices
in the subprime lending market. Predatory lending practices lead to
foreclosure, homelessness, financial devastation and loss of hard-earned
equity (which is the sole source of wealth for many lower income
homeowners), displacement of long-time residents and destabilization of
neighborhoods.

Legal Services NYC's work includes:

  • Providing legal assistance, including advice, advocacy and litigation services, to homeowners;
  • Providing advice and assistance to community-based organizations on specific cases; and
  • Helping to coordinate and provide training for foreclosure prevention advocates throughout the City.

Foreclosure Prevention programs are offered at Brooklyn Legal Services Corporation A, Bedford-Stuyvesant Community Legal Services, Legal Services NYC- Bronx, Queens Legal Services, South Brooklyn Legal Services, and Staten Island Legal Services.
