Welcome to NYC Initiative

Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to supporting newcomers to Springfield Gardens and the greater New York City area as they embark on their journey in this vibrant metropolis. Our comprehensive program offers essential resources and guidance, ensuring that individuals and families transitioning to New York have access to critical support during their relocation. We provide a variety of services, including legal assistance with initial assessments, rights information, and referrals, alongside non-legal support such as self-help materials, case management, interpretation and translation services, and vital needs like food, clothing, and housing. Additionally, we facilitate access to medical and mental health services, and help newcomers navigate public benefits, all with the goal of fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.
