Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to providing crucial support to newcomers in White Plains, NY, as they transition to the vibrant and diverse city of New York. Our comprehensive program offers essential resources and services tailored to individuals and families relocating to NYC for the first time. We focus on delivering vital legal assistance, including initial assessments, know your rights guidance, and referrals to legal services, alongside a range of non-legal support. We help newcomers navigate access to public benefits, housing, essential needs such as food and clothing, medical and mental health services, case management, transportation assistance, and interpretation services. At the Welcome to NYC Initiative, we strive to ensure that every newcomer feels informed and supported as they embark on their new journey.
