Make a Difference. Fight for Housing Justice.
Are you a passionate advocate ready to use your legal skills to make an impact? Our client, a respected Bronx-based nonprofit organization, is seeking a
Staff Attorney
to join a dedicated legal team protecting New Yorkers from eviction and housing instability. This is more than just a job – it’s a chance to serve on the front lines of the fight for housing justice, supporting low-income families in one of the most diverse and vibrant communities in the city. Only ONE year of experience required in litigation - practice area does not matter.
What You’ll Do
Be a courtroom advocate: Represent clients facing eviction in Bronx Housing Court through litigation and negotiation. Fight for housing stability: Counsel clients and develop legal strategies that help families stay in their homes. Handle meaningful cases: Take full ownership of a dynamic caseload, including non-payment and holdover proceedings, administrative hearings, and appeals. Empower communities: Lead outreach, legal education workshops, and trainings to inform tenants of their rights and strengthen community resilience. Collaborate for impact: Work closely with social workers, advocates, and housing counselors in a holistic, client-centered model. Create lasting change: Draft motions, orders, stipulations, and engage in strategic litigation to influence housing outcomes at a systemic level.
Why This Role Is Exciting
Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy a primarily remote work schedule with meaningful in-person engagement in court and on-site one day a week. Be part of a mission: Join a nonprofit with a strong reputation for advocacy, community impact, and supporting underserved populations. Mentorship & Growth: Early-career attorneys welcomed! Get hands-on experience and professional development in a fast-paced legal environment. Tangible Impact: See your work directly contribute to keeping families housed and stabilizing communities in need.
