The New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) seeks a non-profit legal services organization to be the designated provider to deliver consumer protection legal support for the Centers.

It is preferable, but not required, that the provider would also be able to provide legal advice and guidance with Social Security Administration disability overpayments and other financial issues related to disability benefits
