Established in 2005, the Assigned Counsel Project (ACP) provides eligible seniors with an attorney and social worker, or social work intern, who work as a team to help seniors resolve their Housing Court cases. Seniors must be sixty years of age or older, have an identifiable social service need, and a pending Housing Court case in order to be assisted by the Program. Legal representation is provided by the following sub-contracted legal service providers: MFY Legal Services, Inc., Brooklyn Legal Services of NY, Brooklyn Legal Aid Society, JASA Queens Legal Services for the Elderly, and Bronx Legal Aid Society. More information on the program can be found at http://www.nycourts.gov/courts/nyc/civil/pdfs/acp_brochure.pdf
