Welcome to NYC Initiative

Welcome to NYC Initiative is a dedicated program based in Kingston, NY, aimed at assisting newcomers as they transition to life in the bustling city of New York. We offer vital support and resources to individuals and families arriving for the first time, ensuring they feel welcomed and informed. Our services encompass critical areas, including legal assistance such as initial assessments, know-your-rights guidance, and referrals to legal services. We also provide non-legal support through self-help materials, fraud information, and case management services. Our initiative addresses essential needs like food assistance, clothing, and housing, along with medical and mental health services. We strive to empower newcomers by connecting them with resources for public benefits, interpretation and translation, and travel assistance, helping them navigate their new environment with confidence and care.
