Legal Aid’s 24 specialized units and 16 neighborhood and court-based offices worked on more than 49,000 individual legal matters benefiting approximately 121,000 low-income New Yorkers. The Civil Practice launched the Tenant Rights Unit (TRU) to provide housing legal assistance through a combination of eviction defense, affirmative litigation, and advocacy designed to prevent the harassment and displacement of low-income tenants and stabilize housing conditions.
