Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative in Utica, NY, is dedicated to ensuring a smooth transition for newcomers seeking to make New York City their home. Our program provides essential resources and comprehensive support to individuals and families embarking on this exciting journey. We offer vital assistance with legal services, including initial assessments, guidance on rights, and referrals, as well as non-legal support such as self-help materials, case management, interpretation, and translation. Our commitment extends to helping newcomers access essential needs like food, clothing, housing, medical care, and mental health services, while also guiding them in navigating public benefits and travel assistance. We are here to empower newcomers with the tools and knowledge they need for successful integration into the vibrant fabric of New York City.
