Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to providing a warm and supportive foundation for newcomers to New York City, situated in New Hyde Park, NY. Our mission is to empower individuals and families relocating to this dynamic metropolis by offering vital resources and assistance. We facilitate access to essential information and guidance in a variety of areas, including legal services like initial assessments, know your rights education, and referrals for ongoing legal support. Beyond legal advice, we connect newcomers with non-legal services including interpretation, mental health support, travel assistance, and access to medical care. Our comprehensive program also addresses essential needs, ensuring that newcomers receive support with food assistance, clothing, housing, and public benefit access, fostering a smooth transition into their new home.
