Congratulations to Ray Lopez, Interim Director of Programs and Director of Environmental Health Services at LSA Family Health Service, who was elected on March 3, 2017, to NCLEJ’s Board of Directors.

NYCHA court settlement obtained by NCLEJ on behalf of low-income people with asthma who live in public housing that is contaminated by toxic mold.
Marc Cohan, NCLEJ’s Executive Director, said, “We could not be more excited – Ray is an amazing advocate and will bring energy, enthusiasm, talent, and great spirit to our Board.”
