Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to providing a warm and supportive environment for newcomers to Niagara Falls, NY, and beyond as they embark on their journey to New York City. This comprehensive program offers vital resources, including legal services that encompass initial assessments, rights education, and referrals, alongside essential non-legal support such as self-help materials, case management, interpretation, and translation. We prioritize the well-being of individuals and families by assisting with access to medical and mental health services, essential needs like food and clothing, housing, and public benefits. Our mission is to ensure that every newcomer feels welcomed and equipped to thrive in their new home, making the transition smoother and more grounded in community support.
