Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative proudly serves newcomers to New York City from its base in Voorhees, NJ, offering crucial resources and support to help them navigate their transition. Our comprehensive program is dedicated to assisting individuals and families adjusting to their new home by providing essential information and services. We offer legal support including initial assessments, know-your-rights education, and referrals to qualified legal professionals. Beyond legal assistance, we connect newcomers with vital non-legal resources such as housing services, public benefits access, interpretation and translation, mental health services, and essential needs like food and clothing. Our goal is to ensure that everyone who arrives in the city feels welcomed, informed, and supported, as they begin their new journey.
