Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to providing compassionate assistance to newcomers settling in Elizabeth, NJ, who are embarking on their journey to the dynamic city of New York. Our mission is to offer essential resources and support, ensuring that individuals and families feel welcomed and well-informed as they navigate their new environment. We provide a range of services including legal guidance, case management, and access to healthcare, alongside vital non-legal support such as housing referrals, food assistance, and access to public benefits. With a focus on empowering newcomers, we offer interpretation and translation services, travel assistance, and self-help materials, all designed to ease the transition and promote well-being in their new community.
