Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to ensuring a seamless transition for newcomers settling in Elmira, NY, and the vibrant city of New York. We provide essential resources, guidance, and compassionate support for individuals and families relocating for the first time. Our comprehensive program focuses on both legal and non-legal services, offering initial assessments, legal rights education, and referrals to trusted legal resources. Additionally, we assist with accessing vital services, including case management, medical and mental health services, interpretation and translation, and help with essential needs like food and clothing. We understand the complexities of navigating a new environment and strive to empower individuals by connecting them with public benefits and housing resources to build a stable foundation in their new community.
