MissionLegal Information for Families Today (LIFT) is an award winning non-profit dedicated to empowering unrepresented litigants so that they may successfully self-advocate in the New York Family Courts.MissionDesc

Expense$601,498ExpenseAmt
DescRemote Legal Consultations:Meeting with a LIFT staff attorney virtually for about an hour, unrepresented litigants receive vital support in preparing a case. Given that public access to New York Citys family courthouses remain severely restricted due to the pandemic, our legal consultations take place over the phone, Microsoft Teams, or via LIFTs virtual platform, Family Legal Connection. Clients receive in-depth advice and counsel, and many clients return for follow-up meetings. Offering consultations remotely has allowed us to greatly increase the number of clients we can serve, making legal advice more accessible for families who urgently need it. This fiscal year we had 2,618 consultations, including 1,235 initial consultations and 1,383 follow up consultations. This is the highest number of court consultations weve ever had in our 25 years of service.Desc

Expense$525,918ExpenseAmt
DescFamily Law Information Helplines:The past year has also brought record-breaking volume to our Telephone, Email, and Live-Chat Helplines, largely because of the Family Courts more frequent referrals. LIFT, in turn, expanded the Helpline team to meet the increased need. The Helplines became the primary point of entry for parents who need LIFTs support and guidance, and a central artery through which clients can access our more in-depth services. The Helplines thus serve as a virtual substitute for LIFTs Court-based, on-the-spot legal information services. All program associates on our Helpline team are bilingual (Spanish/English). In addition, LIFT uses Voiance Interpretation Service if an interpreter is needed for a caller who does not speak any of the languages spoken by our Helpline Associates. This fiscal year we served 24,225 people on our Helplines, a significant increase from the 15,000 people we typically served annually before the Courts moved to virtual hearings.Desc

Expense$347,387ExpenseAmt
DescFamily Legal Connection (FLC):FLC is our interactive, online platform for the provision of legal advice remotely to clients on their mobile devices or computers. Using videoconferencing and document-sharing technology, the platform enables our clients to consult with pro bono attorneys. FLC expands LIFTs capacity to serve individuals without transportation, thus reducing the need for long-distance trips to the courthouse and eliminating barriers for disabled or homebound clients. It also mitigates expensive burdens such as taking time away from work and securing childcare services. In recent months, FLC has dramatically expanded LIFTs service capacity as we rapidly forged new partnerships with the private bar to provide pro bono services, as well as nonprofit service providers that refer their clients to FLC. This year, we began pro bono partnerships with six new law firms or corporate legal departments, created referral partnerships with three new community based organizations, and have facilitated 302 FLC consultation appointments with pro bono attorneys. We are also pleased to report that in October 2020, FLC was honored by the New York State Bar Association and the New York Unified Court System for our innovative expansion of pro bono legal services for Family Court litigants that increases access to justice for New York families.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Legal Education and Community Outreach:LIFT works with community partners throughout the five boroughs to present virtual legal clinics on family law issues that are beyond the scope of their services. Over the past year, we have held several well-attended webinars and presentations in English and Spanish we had 926 participants at 41 events. We continue to prioritize outreach to key constituent groups: 1) veterans and active military service-members; 2) Spanish-speaking and immigrant families; 3) formerly incarcerated and incarcerated parents; and 4) survivors of domestic violence and abuse. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Family Legal Connection (FLC):FLC is our interactive, online platform for the provision of legal advice remotely to clients on their mobile devices or computers. Using videoconferencing and document-sharing technology, the platform enables our clients to consult with pro bono attorneys. FLC expands LIFTs capacity to serve individuals without transportation, thus reducing the need for long-distance trips to the courthouse and eliminating barriers for disabled or homebound clients. It also mitigates expensive burdens such as taking time away from work and securing childcare services. In recent months, FLC has dramatically expanded LIFTs service capacity as we rapidly forged new partnerships with the private bar to provide pro bono services, as well as nonprofit service providers that refer their clients to FLC. This year, we began pro bono partnerships with six new law firms or corporate legal departments, created referral partnerships with three new community based organizations, and have facilitated 302 FLC consultation appointments with pro bono attorneys. We are also pleased to report that in October 2020, FLC was honored by the New York State Bar Association and the New York Unified Court System for our innovative expansion of pro bono legal services for Family Court litigants that increases access to justice for New York families. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: OTHER INITIATIVES RELATED TO COVID-19: In 2020, LIFT launched a Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) safety distribution program. Through the support of an anonymous donor, we distributed PPE and information packetscontaining masks, gloves, hand sanitizer and social service resource informationto individuals and families arriving at Family Court in all 5 boroughs.We also created a pilot Tech Hub program which aims to help close the digital divide that has been exacerbated by the pandemic. LIFT provides space in our Brooklyn-based administrative offices for individuals who may not have access to technology, a reliable internet connection, or a private space to conduct their virtual hearings with the Court and upload documents related to their case. Many of the individuals served by the Tech Hub program discovered this resource when they went to the Courthouse and encountered our PPE distribution staff. As the courts are still largely closed for in-person trials and services, LIFT is proud to do all we can to help families get the information and support they need for their Family Court cases. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Family Law Navigator: We have also recently launched Family Law Navigator, a powerful new tool on our website that delivers accurate family law information customized to each persons legal case and situation. The app was developed in coordination with Brooklyn Law School and allows users to build a tailored report on their particular family law concern quickly, anonymously, and for free. In just 2-3 minutes, Family Law Navigator provides legal information that can be a helpful starting point for people who are beginning to address their family law issue. Family Law Navigator had 162 page views between its launch in late July and the end of the fiscal year.
