Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to providing essential support for newcomers settling into the dynamic community of New York City from Blackwood, NJ. Our comprehensive program warmly guides individuals and families through their transition by offering critical resources and assistance. We focus on legal services, including initial assessments, rights education, and referrals, alongside a variety of non-legal services such as case management, interpretation, medical services, mental health support, and access to public benefits. Additionally, we address essential needs like food and clothing, and provide travel assistance, ensuring that every newcomer feels supported and informed as they start their new journey in the vibrant city of New York.
