Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative, located in Hamburg, NY, is dedicated to providing crucial support and guidance for those starting anew in the dynamic city of New York. Our program offers a comprehensive range of services designed to help newcomers navigate their transition smoothly, including legal services such as initial assessments, rights guidance, and referrals. We also emphasize non-legal support, offering access to critical resources like self-help materials, case management, interpretation and translation, travel assistance, as well as medical and mental health services. Additionally, we ensure that individuals and families receive essential needs, including food, clothing, and housing assistance, as well as help in accessing public benefits, all with a warm and welcoming approach that reflects our commitment to creating a supportive environment for everyone beginning their journey in New York City.
