Welcome to NYC Initiative

Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to providing vital support for newcomers settling in Long Branch, NJ, as they embark on their journey to the vibrant city of New York. Our program offers a comprehensive range of services designed to ease the transition for individuals and families, including legal assistance, initial assessments, and know-your-rights guidance. Beyond legal services, we connect newcomers with essential non-legal resources such as self-help materials, case management, interpretation and translation, travel assistance, and access to medical and mental health services. We also prioritize meeting basic needs with support for food and clothing, housing, and public benefits, ensuring every newcomer feels welcomed and equipped to thrive in their new environment.
