Homeowner Protection Program

 The Legal Project's Homeowner Protection Program provides legal advice and representation to homeowners who are facing foreclosure. 

Fortunately, New York State is a "Judicial" state, meaning that its foreclosure procedures are governed by New York laws and other regulations, which offer many protections to homeowners.

What can The Legal Project's Homeowner Protection Program offer you?

• We provide confidential, free consultations to people facing foreclosure
• We discuss your rights and options with you to help you make informed choices
• We offer pro bono representation to people who qualify, offering assistance with answering a complaint, Supreme Court settlement conferences and loan workout options, if eligible
• We make referrals to housing counseling agencies, advocacy groups and private bankruptcy firms, if needed

The New York counties we serve:  Albany, Columbia, Greene, Fulton, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren and Washington.

All programs and services have specific eligibility requirements.  Please call us for more information at (518) 435-1770, or fax us at (518) 242-7572.

"It meant a lot to us to always reach a real person, and have that person always willing to help us with our questions.  The compassion and expertise that was given to us on our long foreclosure journey to keep our home was what meant the most."

”Thank you!  You were a huge help putting my family and myself at ease in our time of desperation."

"I felt understood and treated with kindness and given HOPE.  I am so thankful for your organization, you helped me through a very difficult time in my life.  I truly appreciate all you did for me."

"My attorney and her staff never gave up on me even when things looked bleak.  I am very grateful for what they have done for me and my family."

"My attorney was wonderful and easy to work with.  She was professional and timely on all matters.  This is a wonderful program that was direct and met my needs beyond what I expected."

"The staff showed me great patience with my inexperience in foreclosure matters.  It was a great relief to have counsel that was able to represent me without my physical presence at court.  I could not afford to take time from work.  Thank you!"

"My attorney was absolutely professional and respectful of us throughout this very challenging process.  I cannot say enough of The Legal Project staff and the gratitude I feel."
