<div><div><div>About the Agency:<br>
<br>
The New York City Department of Housing Preservation Development (HPD) promotes quality and affordability in the city's housing, and diversity and strength in the city&rsquo;s neighborhoods because every New Yorker deserves a safe, affordable place to live in a neighborhood they love.<br>
<br>
<ul><li>We maintain building and resident safety and health</li></ul><br>
<ul><li>We create opportunities for New Yorkers through housing affordability</li></ul><br>
<ul><li>We engage New Yorkers to build and sustain neighborhood strength and diversity.</li></ul><br>
HPD is entrusted with fulfilling these objectives through the goals and strategies of &ldquo;Housing Our Neighbors: A Blueprint for Housing and Homelessness,&rdquo; Mayor Adams&rsquo; comprehensive housing framework. To support this important work, the administration has committed $5 billion in new capital funding, bringing the 10-year planned investment in housing to $22 billion the largest in the city&rsquo;s history. This investment, coupled with a commitment to reduce administrative and regulatory barriers, is a multi-pronged strategy to tackle New York City&rsquo;s complex housing crisis, by addressing homelessness and housing instability, promoting economic stability and mobility, increasing homeownership opportunities, improving health and safety, and increasing opportunities for equitable growth.<br>

<div><div><b>Director | Elder Law Project</b></div><div><b>
DEPARTMENT: </b>City Bar Justice Center<br>
<b>REPORTS TO: </b>Executive Director<br>
<b>FLSA STATUS: </b>Exempt<br>
<br>
The City Bar Justice Center seeks an experienced and multi-skilled attorney committed to expanding access to justice to join us as Director of the Justice Center&rsquo;s Elder Law Project. This position reports principally to the Justice Center&rsquo;s Executive Director, and to the Director of Legal Services on an ad hoc basis.</div><br>
The Elder Law Project (ELP) offers hybrid-based legal services, clinics, and informational presentations free of charge to limited-income New York City-area seniors, empowering them to protect their legal rights and make informed legal decisions with a goal of aging with greater security and dignity. Critical to ELP&rsquo;s services model is a network of trained volunteer attorneys who prepare clients&rsquo; essential life and estate planning documents, including basic wills as well as healthcare proxies, powers of attorney, living wills, and disposition of remains designations. ELP staff and volunteers also offer advice, counseling, and referrals on government benefits, landlord-tenant disputes, fraud/scam prevention, and other topics, and connect ELP clients with the Justice Center&rsquo;s consumer bankruptcy, immigration, homeowner stabilization, or shelter advocacy services as needed. ELP also cultivates relationships with area senior centers to reach seniors where they are, whether homebound or online, and collaborates with these centers to host bilingual clinics and presentations covering topics like Medicare overview, life and estate planning, and scam prevention. ELP staff and volunteers also often visit ELP clients at home to prepare and sign sensitive legal documents in person.<br>
<br>
The City Bar Justice Center provides high-quality, free civil legal services benefiting over 27,000 New Yorkers each year who lack the resources to hire private counsel.
