Description

The Office of Civil Justice (OCJ) was created at DSS/HRA in 2015 when Local Law 61 of 2015 established OCJ as a permanent city governmental office tasked with launching, managing, monitoring and reporting on the City’s civil legal services programs and the civil legal needs experienced by New Yorkers. The centerpiece of OCJ’s tenant legal services is its implementation of New York City’s groundbreaking Universal Access to Counsel (UA) law. In 2017, the City of New York became the first and largest city in the United States to commit to making free legal services available to all tenants facing eviction proceedings in housing court and public housing authority termination of tenancy proceedings. Under the UA law, OCJ is tasked with establishing programs in partnership with legal services providers that ensure that tenant respondents in New York City Housing Court eviction proceedings and administrative tenancy termination proceedings at the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) have access to free legal services at or close to their first scheduled court appearance – full legal representation to tenant respondents whose household incomes are at or below 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines, and brief legal assistance for those at higher income levels.
