Legal Services for New York City (LSNY) makes access to the legal system a reality for people who have no where else to turn. To help New York's low-income population meet the legal needs they are experiencing because of the loss of income and trauma of the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, LSNY developed the "September 11th Project." The September 11th Project is a holistic approach to addressing the civil legal services needs of poor people due to the attack which include family, housing, unemployment and government benefits matters. In addition to establishing a single central phone number for organizations to make referrals to LSNY, staff members in each office are designated to coordinate assistance to September 11th clients, coordinate efforts to reach out to other organizations and legal services providers, and to track September 11th cases. The phone number to receive services as a result of September 11 is (212) 431-7200, ext. 152.
