Wondering how you can help homeowners affected by foreclosures in New York City?

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the City Bar Justice Center have organized a pro bono program to assist New Yorkers facing the prospect of foreclosure.

The Lawyers' Foreclosure Intervention Network (LFIN) training will enable participating lawyers to:
• Assist homeowners in understanding and assessing their options to avoid foreclosure.
• Learn to negotiate with homeowners' creditors and represent homeowners before bankruptcy or other courts.
• Earn free CLE credit. (Attendees are expected to provide assistance to at least one client in return for the free CLE.)

We saw a real need in the community for additional legal assistance. If the project is successful, it may become a model for other areas of the country. We are looking to the legal and financial services communities to help address this important community need.
