Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to providing essential support and resources for newcomers to the vibrant city of New York, ensuring that individuals and families feel warmly welcomed and well-informed as they transition to their new home. Located in North Tonawanda, NY, our program offers practical guidance through a variety of services, including legal assistance with initial assessments, Know Your Rights information, legal service referrals, and case management. We also provide comprehensive support for non-legal needs, connecting newcomers to vital services such as food assistance, clothing, travel support, medical and mental health services, and housing resources. Our mission is to empower newcomers by facilitating access to public benefits and essential self-help materials, ensuring a smoother integration into the diverse landscape of New York City.
