Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to providing warm support and vital resources for newcomers settling into New York City from Teaneck, NJ. Our mission is to ensure that individuals and families transitioning to this vibrant urban environment receive comprehensive assistance tailored to their needs. We offer essential navigation through legal services, including initial assessments and rights guidance, and facilitate connections to non-legal resources such as self-help materials, case management, medical and mental health services, travel assistance, and vital help with essential needs like food and clothing. With a focus on housing and access to public benefits, our initiative stands ready to empower newcomers with the tools they need to thrive and integrate seamlessly into their new community.
