You have the RIGHT to request reasonable accommodations! If you have special needs due to a disability or other condition, be sure to advocate for yourself with DSS and request an accommodation form if you need assistance with accessing services, or a placement that will suit your needs.

#TBT "The most ardent 'point of light' private practitioner cannot hold a candle to Legal Aid and Neighborhood Legal Services in these cases."

True today, just as it was in 1992 😊

Our legal system is super complex - without representation, it's incredibly difficult for the average person to navigate and almost impossible to achieve equitable justice. LSC levels the playing field.

Your landlord isn't likely to be visited by ghosts this holiday season. 👻 Fortunately, you can always count on one of our advocates to help with your housing, eviction, or landlord disputes.

Hanukkah reminds us that even in the darkest times, light and hope can prevail. Spreading light can also extend beyond candle lighting; we can brighten our world through intentional acts of kindness and gestures of love.

How will you spread light this season?

While the social services law requires that, "as far as possible families shall be kept together," sometimes there are multiple priorities being considered during emergency housing and placement situations.

Remember, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT not to be separated!

#TBT Did you know Neighborhood Legal Services got our name because our offices were originally located in the neighborhood areas with the most need?
Before consolidating to downtown Buffalo to reduce overhead costs and be closer to the courts, we had offices on Niagara St, Jefferson Ave & Ridge Rd.

Please note that all NLS offices are closed today and tomorrow in celebration of Thanksgiving 🦃 We will reopen Monday at 9 am.

If you have a housing emergency, please call 2-1-1
