Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative in Schenectady, NY, is dedicated to providing essential support to individuals and families embarking on their journey to New York City. Our program offers comprehensive assistance that includes legal services, such as initial assessments and referrals, as well as vital non-legal resources like self-help materials, case management, and access to medical and mental health services. We strive to ensure newcomers are informed about their rights and have the necessary tools for a successful transition. Our warm and welcoming approach also encompasses essential needs such as food, clothing, and housing, as well as guidance on accessing public benefits. Let us help you navigate this exciting new chapter with the resources and support you need.
