@LSNYCnews @BrianKavanaghNY @NYDailyNews “in the wake of the pandemic to assist distressed borrowers. Accessing relief from state, federal and private programs requires knowing the details of how they work, who is eligible and who even owns the loan in the first place — a process that few people without legal degrees”
@LSNYCnews @BrianKavanaghNY @NYDailyNews “Since the program began more than a decade ago, the rate of default judgments against homeowners in foreclosure lawsuits has dwindled to a fraction of what it once was. HOPP helps New Yorkers navigate the complex web of government programs that sprang up”
@LSNYCnews @BrianKavanaghNY @NYDailyNews “Last year, more than 20,000 people received assistance from HOPP — protecting their rights in court, lowering their bill payments and preventing avoidable foreclosures with home-saving solutions that benefit homeowners, lenders and local governments.”
If HOPP funding is not restored before the budget is finalized, thousands of New York homeowners will have nowhere to turn when the funding runs out in July. We can't let over a decade of progress be undone in fighting default and preventable foreclosures! #FundHOPP
As a critical initiative for connecting homeowners with mortgage relief resources, HOPP will help homeowners manage New York State’s unprecedented mortgage default rates. @GovKathyHochul — we must fully #fundHOPP to keep homeownership attainable in NYS!

WE'RE SUING! Today we joined East Harlem tenants along with @LegalAidNYC & @CVHaction to announce a new lawsuit against their landlord, Isaac Kassirer, whose firm Emerald Equities has stolen thousands in security deposits & continues to ignore countless rent-impairing violations.
HAPPENING NOW: @CVHaction, @LSNYCnews, and LAS are in Harlem to take a stand against predatory landlords buying up rent-stabilized buildings & pushing residents out of their homes!
We're in Harlem with the tenants of Emerald Equities. The landlord, Isaac Kassirer, has: ➡️ Stolen tens of thousands of dollars worth of tenants’ security deposits ➡️ Ignored rent-impairing violations, including a hole in the roof & blocked fire exits Today, we filed a lawsuit.
Glad to see action taken against Ohebshalom, a landlord who also has neglected buildings in the Lower East Side. 👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽 Looking forward to seeing more accountability for more bad-acting landlords.

#Foreclosure is on the rise but @GovKathyHochul again left funding for the Homeowner Protection Program (#HOPP) out of the budget. NY homeowners facing foreclosure, illegal displacement & predatory #DeedTheft can't afford to lose the network’s services. legalservicesnyc.org/news-and-event…
