Mission
We educate and inform our potential clients lower-income senior citizens and legally disabled persons about the laws protecting them so they can make decisions based on reality instead of fear. We provide representation as described by the Fair Dept Collection Practices Act so our clients do not experience debt collection harassment. With adequate legal protection and understanding of their legal protections our clients can choose to pay for their basic necessities instead of using these funds for unsecured debt.

Initial enrollment of 118 pro bono clients was done to support HELPS objective of offering services to all eligible individuals requiring representation. During intake it was established that these clients had incomes below the $800 fee threshold or faced financial circumstances that rendered fee payment overly burdensome. An estimated additional 3242 clients received our services without charge. These individuals were either HELPS clients enrolled before faced substantial financial difficulties that made any payment for our representation unmanageable.
In 2023 we spoke with at or around 8815 senior citizens legally disabled persons and other persons who contacted us for more information about our services and the laws protecting their incomes. Please see Schedule O for more information.
