Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative, based in Princeton, NJ, is dedicated to providing vital support and assistance to newcomers relocating to New York City. Our comprehensive program ensures that individuals and families receive critical information and resources as they navigate their transition. We specialize in offering legal services, including initial assessments, Know Your Rights guidance, and referrals, alongside non-legal support such as case management, interpretation and translation, and access to essential needs like food and clothing. Our mission is to empower newcomers with the tools they need to adapt and thrive in their new environment, ensuring they receive the assistance necessary to access public benefits and secure stable housing.
