Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative in Far Rockaway, NY, is dedicated to providing a warm welcome and essential support to newcomers in New York City. Our program offers crucial resources and information tailored for individuals and families arriving in this vibrant metropolis for the first time. We focus on ensuring newcomers have access to both legal services, including initial assessments and know-your-rights guidance, as well as vital non-legal support, such as case management, interpretation and translation, medical and mental health services, and help with obtaining essential needs like food, clothing, and housing. With a commitment to empowering our community members, we strive to seamlessly navigate the complexities of city life, helping newcomers access public benefits and fostering a sense of belonging from day one.
