Welcome to NYC Initiative

Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to providing essential support to newcomers in Rome, NY, as they embark on their journey in the vibrant city of New York. Our program is designed to equip individuals and families with vital information and resources to ease their transition. We offer a range of services, including legal assistance with initial assessments, guidance on rights, and referrals to legal services. Beyond legal support, we connect individuals to non-legal resources such as self-help materials, case management, interpretation and translation services, as well as access to medical and mental health services. Additionally, we address essential needs like food, clothing, housing, and public benefits, ensuring that newcomers feel welcomed and supported every step of the way.
