Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative, based in Atlantic City, NJ, is dedicated to providing essential support and resources to newcomers ready to embrace the vibrant life in New York City. Our mission is to ensure that individuals and families moving to the city are greeted with warmth and have access to crucial information and services. We assist with legal needs through initial assessments, guidance on rights, and referrals to legal services. Additionally, we offer non-legal support such as self-help materials, case management, interpretation and translation, and essential services like food assistance, housing support, access to medical and mental health services, and help with public benefits. Our holistic approach enables newcomers to navigate their transition smoothly while finding the support they need to settle into their new home with confidence and care.
