We are a Brooklyn-based non-profit organization whose mission is to enable members of the community to preserve and grow their assets, thereby securing their economic future. We serve the Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brownsville, Bushwick, Crown Heights, East New York, Williamsburg and other working class neighborhoods in Kings and Queens Counties in New York City with a narrow, yet heavily demanded, set of services. These services are available in English or Spanish and are free or low-cost. Our key programs include: 1. VITA program – providing thousands of Brooklyn residents each year with free tax preparation services, securing millions of dollars in tax benefits. 2. Foreclosure prevention – counseling and representing homeowners towards the resolution of troubled home loans. Our counselors and attorneys have served about a thousand clients, resulting in the saving of hundreds of homes. 3. End of life planning (“Protect Your Treasure”) – assisting residents with the documentation they need to ensure their assets are passed seamlessly and with little cost to their heirs.
