Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative in Farmingdale, NY, is dedicated to warmly welcoming newcomers to New York City by providing essential resources and support for a smooth transition. Our comprehensive program assists individuals and families moving to the city for the first time, offering guidance in both legal and non-legal matters. From legal services like initial assessments, rights education, and referrals to case management, to vital non-legal assistance including self-help materials, medical and mental health services, and access to essential needs such as food, clothing, and housing, we strive to empower newcomers with the tools they need to thrive. We understand the journey can be overwhelming, and our goal is to ensure that every newcomer feels supported and connected as they embark on their new adventure in the vibrant and diverse landscape of New York City.
