Legal Intern/Fellow Department: Legal
Status: Part-time; schedule based on intern availability
Since 1974, NAICA has provided culturally and linguistically client-centered housing, legal, and social support services to residents of the Bronx. Our mission is to promote self-efficacy and improve the quality of life for individuals and families across New York.
NAICA’s Legal Department provides free legal services to low-income households facing eviction and those residents with immigration matters throughout the Bronx. We advise, assist, and represent tenants to prevent displacement, secure essential repairs, and ensure access to critical public benefits. Our Immigration attorney can provide advice, representation and referrals for low-income Bronx residents with immigration matters. Through direct representation, housing advocacy, and community education, NAICA serves some of New York City’s most vulnerable communities.
About the NAICA Legal Support Center
The legal support center provides advice, representation and referrals for underserved and marginalized immigrants in the Bronx. We provide free legal services and consultations in a culturally and linguistically sensitive manner, working closely with clients, community partners, the Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) and social service providers.
