Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative is dedicated to providing a warm and inclusive transition for newcomers settling in Whitestone, NY, and the greater New York City area. We understand the challenges that come with relocating to a bustling metropolis and strive to offer vital support across various services. From legal guidance, rights education, and referrals for legal services to practical assistance with housing, medical care, and mental health resources, our program is here to help you navigate this new chapter. We also offer case management, interpretation services, and access to essential needs such as food, clothing, and public benefits, ensuring that families and individuals receive the comprehensive support they need as they begin their journey in New York City.
