Brooklyn Legal Services, Corporation A - Senior Anti-Eviction Project
The Senior Anti-Eviction Project provides direct delivery of services
through legal representation in Housing Court Proceedings and Division
of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) matters primarily as well as
through advocacy and advice on housing issues and on other related legal
issues of concern to seniors.
As it is of utmost importance that seniors know their rights, community
education of Senior Center personnel and of seniors in the northern and
eastern sections of Brooklyn is carried out through presentations at
senior centers and other locations in these areas. In addition, since
seniors very often have mobility limitations, the project reaches out to
seniors by holding intake interviews by appointment, as needed, at
several senior centers. In addition, through trainings each year for the
New York City Department of the Aging case workers, the Project provides
educational outreach to varied organizations in all the boroughs of the
city.
