Welcome to NYC Initiative

Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to supporting newcomers to New York City from Mays Landing, NJ, by providing them with essential resources and guidance as they navigate their new surroundings. Our program offers vital information on legal services, including initial assessments, rights education, and referrals, ensuring that individuals have access to the legal support they need. Additionally, we connect individuals with non-legal services such as essential needs assistance—including food and clothing, medical and mental health services, case management, and travel assistance. Our goal is to help newcomers feel welcomed and empowered, offering a clear path to access public benefits and settle into their new home without unnecessary stress.
