Welcome to NYC Initiative

Welcome to the NYC Initiative is a vital resource for newcomers in Brentwood, NY, dedicated to providing essential support and guidance for individuals and families moving to New York City. Our program ensures that newcomers can navigate their new surroundings with ease by offering critical information and resources across a range of services. We assist in legal matters through initial assessments, know your rights education, legal service referrals, and case management. In addition to legal support, we connect newcomers with vital non-legal services, including food assistance, medical and mental health services, housing support, and access to public benefits. Our aim is to create a welcoming environment where every newcomer feels informed and supported as they start their journey in this vibrant city.
