Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative, based in Mount Laurel, NJ, is dedicated to providing critical support and guidance for individuals and families relocating to New York City. Our program focuses on delivering essential information and resources to ensure a smooth transition for newcomers. We offer a range of services, including legal assistance with initial assessments, know-your-rights education, and referrals to legal services. Additionally, we aid in securing non-legal resources such as self-help materials, case management, interpretation and translation, travel assistance, medical and mental health services, and essential needs like food, clothing, and housing. The Welcome to NYC Initiative is here to empower newcomers by simplifying access to public benefits and fostering a welcoming environment as they begin their new journey in the city.
