Welcome to NYC Initiative

Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to supporting newcomers to Lockport, NY, as they embark on their journey to the dynamic city of New York. Our mission is to equip individuals and families with vital information, resources, and compassionate guidance during this transitional period. We offer crucial assistance in navigating legal services, including initial assessments, Know Your Rights information, and referrals to expert legal aid. Additionally, we connect newcomers to essential non-legal resources such as self-help materials, medical and mental health services, food assistance, clothing, housing options, and access to public benefits. With a focus on understanding and meeting the unique needs of each individual, our initiative stands ready to help every newcomer thrive in their new environment.
