Welcome to NYC Initiative

Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to warmly welcoming and supporting newcomers to Bay Shore and the greater New York City area. Our comprehensive program offers vital information and resources tailored for individuals and families relocating to this vibrant city for the first time. We provide crucial legal assistance, including initial assessments, Know Your Rights guidance, and referrals to legal services, as well as non-legal support such as self-help materials, case management, and interpretation services. Our initiative also addresses essential needs through access to food assistance, clothing, housing resources, medical and mental health services, and help accessing public benefits. We strive to ensure that every newcomer feels informed, supported, and empowered as they embark on their journey in New York City.
