Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative, located in Patchogue, NY, is dedicated to providing vital support and resources for newcomers transitioning into the diverse community of New York City. We aim to ease this journey by offering essential information and guidance across a wide range of services, including legal assistance such as initial assessments and referrals, as well as critical non-legal support like access to medical services, mental health resources, and essential needs like food and clothing. Our program also provides case management, interpretation and translation services, travel assistance, and help with navigating public benefits, ensuring that every individual and family feels welcomed and equipped to succeed in their new environment.
