Legal Aid Society attorney talks changes to Family Eviction Prevention Supplement program at Kings County Housing Court Bar meeting
Housing Court Bar lawyers meet Brooklyn’s new judges
Susan Bahn, a senior staff attorney at the Legal Aid Society was the guest speaker at this month’s meeting of the Kings County Housing Court Bar Association (KCHCBA) in Downtown Brooklyn on Thursday where she discussed changes to a public assistance program designed to help families avoid eviction.
“Right now there is such a homelessness crisis that the city is trying to keep people in their homes,” Bahn said. “One of the things that they are doing for some people was this program that would come in and provide a subsidy, but it wasn’t indexed for inflation.”
