DescFamily Legal Center: LIFT continues the Family Legal Center (FLC) to enable unrepresented litigants to work with our staff over a period of weeks or months. Through this program, LIFT provides in-depth ongoing support to litigants proceeding without a lawyer in child support, custody and visitation cases. LIFT operates the FLC at the Family Courts in all five boroughs. Each FLC participants is teamed with a legal program staff member, and each session usually takes between 45 minutes and one hour. In FY17, the FLC worked with over 1,200 participants. Throughout FY17, LIFT prepared an expansion of our legal services which included legal advice and a new pro bono program. These expanded services were launched in early 2018.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 FY17, our Helplines served over 14,500 people.Desc

DescSocial Services and Know-Your-Rights Workshops: The vast majority of the families LIFT serves are proceeding without counsel in Family Court to address child support, custody, or visitation matters. LIFT also provides social service support to ensure that these participants have access to social services, public benefits, and opportunities to build parenting skills. With this service, we address a variety of issues that may co-exist with family law matters. For a large percentage of the participants in LIFTs Parenting Course, their enrollment in the course has been mandated, either by the Family Court or by the New York City Administration for Childrens Services. Accordingly, LIFTs parenting curriculum aligns with the Courts requirements. Thus, participants are often able to use what they have learned in the course to achieve their goals. The skills obtained and evidence of their participation by way of a certificate of completion may be taken into favorable consideration by the Court when resolving legal matters. Additionally, LIFT provides Know-Your-Rights workshops in communities around NYC to share information about family court/family law and LIFTs services.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 FY17 we distributed over 80,000 copies of our Guides. 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 FY17, the EI Sites served over 14,000 people.
