| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 | WHILE ALL OUR SERVICES ARE SIGNIFICANT, NLS HAS EXPANDED OUR LAWYER OF THE DAY PROGRAM TO FOUR MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT COURTS. THIS IS A CHANGE IN THE WAY WE APPROACH EVICTION CASES, AS WE PREVIOUSLY LIMITED OUR REPRESENTATION TO CLIENTS WITH CASES ON APPEAL FROM THE MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT COURTS TO THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. AS PART OF THIS PROGRAM, NLS PROVIDES A LAWYER ON SITE ON EVICTION CALENDAR DAY IN FOUR OF THE MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT COURTS WITH THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF EVICTION CASES. THE PROCESS STARTS WHEN A LANDLORD FILES AN EVICTION ACTION AGAINST A TENANT IN ONE OF THE FOUR COURTS. AFTER THE INITIAL EVICTION FILING, RENT HELP PITTSBURGH CONTACTS EVERY TENANT THEY CAN TO OFFER RESOURCE NAVIGATION, INCLUDING RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND REFERRALS TO NEIGHBORHOOD LEGAL SERVICES. WHILE SOME TENANTS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SITUATION TO CONTACT NLS FOR AN INTAKE BEFORE THEIR COURT DATE, OTHER TENANTS SHOW UP AT COURT UNAWARE OF THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM. WHEN THAT HAPPENS NLS STAFF ATTORNEYS SET THE TENANTS UP FOR AN INTAKE WITH OUR PROGRAM AND THEN REFER THE TENANTS TO RENT HELP PITTSBURGH FOR HELP IN LOCATING RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER RESOURCES. TENANTS WHO DO NOT CONTACT NLS BEFORE THEIR COURT DATE, CAN APPLY FOR OUR SERVICES AND RECEIVE HELP THE DAY OF THEIR COURT HEARING THROUGH THE ATTORNEY AND PARALEGAL ON THE SPOT IN THE COURTROOM. THE ESSENCE OF THIS PROGRAM IS THAT ANY QUALIFYING TENANT IN EVICTION COURT THAT DAY WHO NEEDS A LAWYER WILL RECEIVE LEGAL REPRESENTATION. THIS PROGRAM HAS PROVED HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL IN KEEPING TENANTS IN THEIR HOMES AND PREVENTING AN EVICTION ON THEIR RECORD. |
