Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative in Saratoga Springs, NY, is dedicated to providing essential support for newcomers embarking on their journey to the dynamic city of New York. Our mission is to create a welcoming environment by offering vital resources and guidance tailored to the needs of individuals and families relocating to NYC for the first time. We focus on both legal and non-legal assistance, helping newcomers understand their rights and navigate complex legal systems, while also offering referrals for critical services such as food assistance, mental health support, housing resources, and access to public benefits. With a commitment to ensuring that every individual feels valued and supported, we provide essential needs including travel assistance, self-help materials, case management, and translation services, empowering newcomers to successfully transition to their new lives in New York City.
