Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to warmly welcoming newcomers to New York City, providing essential guidance and resources to ease their transition. Located in Union City, NJ, our program supports individuals and families with crucial information and referrals in various areas, including legal services, essential needs, housing assistance, and access to public benefits. We focus on offering initial assessments, know your rights education, case management, and non-legal service referrals such as interpretation, medical services, mental health support, and access to food and clothing. Our mission is to ensure that every newcomer feels supported, informed, and empowered as they navigate their new home in the vibrant and diverse city of New York.
