Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative in Smithtown, NY, is dedicated to providing vital support for newcomers to the bustling city of New York. Our mission is to ensure that individuals and families relocating to NYC receive the guidance and resources they need for a smooth transition. We offer a range of essential services including legal assistance, where we help with initial assessments and provide information on rights, along with referrals to qualified legal services. Additionally, our program addresses non-legal needs by offering self-help materials, case management, interpretation, and translation services. We understand that settling into a new environment can be challenging, which is why we also connect newcomers to medical, mental health, and emergency food services, as well as support for essential needs like clothing and housing. With a commitment to inclusive support and access to public benefits, we strive to make every newcomer feel welcomed and empowered in their new home.
