Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to providing essential support for newcomers settling in Saratoga Springs, NY, before they embark on their journey to the vibrant city of New York. Our program offers a warm, guiding hand with a range of practical services, including legal assistance to help you understand your rights and access necessary legal referrals. Beyond legal help, we ensure that individuals and families have access to critical non-legal resources such as self-help materials, case management services, and public benefits navigation. We also address basic needs, offering support for food, clothing, travel, medical, and mental health services to ease the transition into this new chapter of life. At Welcome to NYC, we believe that everyone deserves a strong start, and we are here to ensure that newcomers feel welcomed and supported every step of the way.
