Organization Details:

Eviction Intervention Services (EIS) is a homelessness prevention organization. To date, we remain the only focused housing organization on Manhattan's mid-upper East Side. The mission of EIS is to prevent homelessness. This is accomplished by keeping residents in their communities, preserving existing affordable housing and promoting and supporting the construction of affordable housing in New York City.

Description and/or History:
EIS has been serving NYC tenants for 25 years. Because of our accomplishments we were inducted, in June 2006, as a member to the PBS/Channel 13/WLIW Community Hall of Fame.

Our clients are tenants who live in rent regulated apartments in Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn. Our staff includes attorneys, social workers and housing advocates.

EIS provides legal, social support and tenant advocacy to tenants in NYC. We offer representation in housing court, counseling and social work meetings and assistance with rental arrears and landlord/tenant mediation. As part of our program, we provide tenant education seminars and workshops. A visit to our website at www.eisny.org will offer more details on the programs and services we have.
