On July 1, roughly 450,000 New Yorkers on the Essential Plan will lose their health insurance due to disastrous federal health care cuts. NYLAG's Rebecca Wallach shares what you can do if you’re about to lose coverage. thecity.nyc/2026/04/07/ess…

Welcome home, Dylan.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor

Our City is overjoyed that Dylan has finally been released from detention and will be back home with his loved ones in the Bronx. What should have been a time for him to focus on finishing high school instead became ten long months of isolation, after he was taken into custody at what was supposed to be a routine immigration hearing last May. Throughout this injustice, Dylan has shown remarkable strength, resilience, and courage. I wish him a smooth and joyful return to his life, his community, and his future here in New York City. He is a New Yorker, and our city is glad to have him home.

"Deborah Berkman, director of the shelter and economic stability project at the New York Legal Assistance Group, said that theft, violence and even sexual assault can be a problem in shelters, where a dozen single adults may share open dormitories."

Emma Goldberg@emmabgo

Shadowing outreach teams during the blizzard, I got curious about what NYC can do for people who are homeless and don't want to sleep indoors, even on frigid nights. Involuntary transports are rare, and Mamdani has been skeptical of a heavy-handed approach nytimes.com/2026/03/13/nyr…

We’re grateful to the Legislature for restoring full funding for the IOLA Fund in their one-house budget proposals. Civil legal services help New Yorkers facing eviction, domestic violence, immigration challenges and more access justice when they need it most. 🧵

Civil legal services depend on stability to retain staff and meet rising need. But the Executive Budget funds IOLA nearly 25% below what’s needed—threatening jobs and services statewide. We urge @GovKathyHochul to fully fund IOLA in the 30-day amendments. #NYBudget #FullyFundIOLA

We urge the Governor to restore IOLA fully in the 30-day amendments. The $25M shortfall will force providers like us to make cuts when people face housing insecurity, hunger, and deportation. This budget session, let’s reaffirm New York’s commitment to access to justice. (2/2)

Civil legal services are essential for New York. They help: 🏘️ people stay housed, 🤝 access benefits, ✊ protect their rights. But the current State Executive Budget doesn't fully fund the non-taxpayer sourced IOLA Fund by $25 million. (1/2)

Every veteran should have access to the benefits they've earned—but for thousands, that access remains out of reach. That's why NYLAG is launching a new Pro Bono Discharge Upgrade Clinic to increase our capacity to help connect NYC veterans with the benefits they deserve.
