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

DescCourt Consultations: Inside New York Citys five Family Courthouses, LIFT responds to litigants needs for more intensive legal services. We provide in-depth Court Consultations that enable unrepresented litigants to meet privately with a Staff Attorney and receive legal advice and vital support in preparing a case. We make this service available to those who are proceeding in child support, custody and visitation cases. Each Consultation usually takes between 45 minutes and one hour. When LIFT added legal advice to our service portfolio in November 2017, we began providing our Court Consultation clients with a substantially deeper level of legal services that empowers them to achieve their legal goals. Our Court-based staff provided 1,045 participants with Consultations in FY18.Desc

DescFamily Law Information Helplines: Anyone with a New York Family Law matter may access LIFTs services through our Telephone, Email and Live-Chat Helplines. Importantly, every EI Site participant is referred to the Helplines, which are tremendously valuable resources for obtaining answers to follow-up questions, additional information, referrals and more. Bilingual (Spanish/English) Helpline Associates provide information regarding family law as well as referrals to community-based legal and social services. In FY18, our Helplines served 14,379 people.Desc

DescKnow-Your-Rights Workshops and Community Outreach:LIFT receives numerous requests to present legal education workshops and clinics at local organizations where family law issues are beyond the scope of their services. Accordingly, LIFT has expanded our legal education program, through which we served more than 300 participants in FY18. Our workshops and clinics are tailored to each audience and community to ensure that we successfully address the questions and concerns of participants, many of whom are proceeding without legal representation in Family Court. In FY18, we began offering a legal clinic -- including brief, one-on-one appointments with a Staff Attorney -- as an alternative to the standard presentation and Q&A. The approach is possible because of the addition of legal advice.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Legal Resource Guides: LIFTs 40 original, multilingual Legal Resource Guides are unique publications, available at all programs and on our website. They cover a wide range of family law issues, including: procedural topics, such as how to begin a case, and detailed information on a litigants rights and possible remedies in the array of case-types. Guides are available in eight languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Korean, French, Haitian/Creole, and Hebrew. In addition, the Guides are written at a fifth grade level in an easy-to-understand Q&A format. They are often a litigants first exposure to the information provided, and quickly become crucial to the litigants ability to proceed effectively without representation. In FY18, we distributed over 63,000 copies of the LRGs at our court-based programs, while more than 40,000 visitors to our website accessed the online version of the LRGs, which may be downloaded. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Education & Information Sites: Located inside Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island Family Courthouses, the EI Sites provide quick answers to family law questions, as well as assistance navigating the courthouse, starting court cases, and accessing court resources. When feasible, the Site Coordinators are bilingual (Spanish/English). We work with hundreds of people each day at the Sites, which are often a litigants introduction to LIFT. They are a key source of support and otherwise unavailable legal information, and serve as a gateway to our other holistic services. Throughout LIFTs history, the EI Sites have been our flagship program. In FY18, the EI Sites served 9,479 people.
