Housing
Legal Services.
Legal services are cornerstone to ensuring the rights of tenants
are protected against the all-to-common problems of unfair
eviction and substandard housing. We represent tenants and
tenant associations to secure stable and safe housing accommodations
and avoid eviction.
Environmental Justice.
We
ensure that landlords make the renovations necessary to protect
all of New York City's children from the impact of lead
paint, remove mold and protect all residents from
environmental asthma triggers.
Senior
Legal Services. We provide a
comprehensive list of high quality legal services to seniors
age 60+, prioritizing those at risk of losing their housing
and independence.
Domestic
Violence. Our domestic violence
program provides a holistic set of services aimed at helping
battered women achieve safety, stability and new levels of
independence. The
legal advocacy initiative serves battered women seeking
assistance with such matters as orders of protection,
custody, eviction and immigration petitions for residency.
Benefits Advocacy.
NMIC Legal Services ensures that all clients get the
appropriate public benefits the law allows. We concentrate on
supplemental rent subsidies to keep low income families in
their homes and helping disabled children receive SSI
benefits.
