What it reported doing in 2024

Welcoming New York: services, infrastructure, and community support: in fy2025, the New York immigration coalition (nyic) expanded and strengthened the infrastructure of the welcoming New York initiative to ensure that immigrant new yorkers, particularly newly arrived individuals and families, had access to the legal services, case management, shelter navigation, and community support services necessary to stabilize and thrive in ny. The nyic and its partners delivered direct services and coordinated a statewide network of community-based partners to address both urgent and long-term needs. Across all programmatic activities, the nyic and partners reached 39,316 individuals through legal consultations, application assistance, referrals, and resource distribution. The nyic convened 63 legal clinics in community-based settings, providing direct legal assistance to 1,079 individuals for asylum, work authorization, and adjustment of status. Through the welcoming New York platform, the nyic facilitated collaboration among more than 150 organizations statewide through coordinated outreach, resource fairs, legal clinics, digital engagement, and public education. To expand the reach and capacity of the broader immigrant services ecosystem, the nyic administered more than $7.5 million in regrants to 30 community organizations delivering legal services, case management, and navigator programs. These subgrantees extended the nyic's mission into communities and populations we could not directly serve, ensuring resources reached immigrants regardless of location or language. This infrastructure strengthened the ability of local communities to welcome and support both new arrivals and long-standing immigrant residents navigating an increasingly complex environment.
