Each year Project FAIR serves hundreds of clients. Some of this has been because of the increased needs for our services but most is due to word-of-mouth and being in the middle of the action every day. Many clients we serve are successful at their hearings and return back to us prior to any subsequent fair hearings.
We:
▪ are able to maintain a core group of trained, dedicated volunteers who staff the Help Desk year-round with the exception of federal and court holidays
▪ have assisted over 21,000 individuals with information in the Fair Hearing process
▪ have established and are continuing to build relationships with citywide legal services organizations and area law schools
▪ are informing the public about changes in the law and litigation in benefits related class-action lawsuits
