Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative in Watertown, NY, is dedicated to providing essential support and guidance for newcomers embarking on their journey to the vibrant city of New York. We understand that moving can be overwhelming, which is why our program offers a wealth of resources tailored to assist individuals and families in navigating their new environment. From legal services like initial assessments, know-your-rights guidance, and referrals, to vital non-legal support such as self-help materials, case management, and access to essential needs including food and clothing, our goal is to ensure a smooth transition. We also facilitate interpretation and translation services, travel assistance, medical care, mental health support, and help with housing and public benefits. At the Welcome to NYC Initiative, we prioritize your well-being and are here to help you settle in with confidence and care.
