Manhattanâs doors are open.
Today we opened our new Immigrant Welcome Center, a one-stop shop connecting immigrant New Yorkers with legal referrals, social services, City resources and the support they need to thrive.
No matter where you come from, you belong in Manhattan.

for a few weeks i've been reporting on legal mechanisms that NYC can use to enforce against bad landlords. then, we got this exclusive story about a case that @nylag filed against landlords who lawyers say have continually harassed their tenants for years. check it out!
"The 7A mechanism gets results because of the leverage that it has," said an attorney for the Bronx tenants, who are asking the court to appoint an administrator to run the building. "They either clean up their side of the street, or...someone else will." citylimits.org/bronx-tenantsâŠ

âThe bigger picture issue is just how little we value the rights and dignity of low-income people who are relying on these benefits, and how upsetting that is,â said Abby Biberman, a public benefits attorney with @nylag. citylimits.org/where-did-newâŠ

Universal childcare needs to be truly universal. Today, we took a huge step toward this vision with a $67.5 million investment in high-quality Special Education programs â coming to all five boroughs this fall.Â
For too long, many young children with disabilities had to travel across the city to get the education they deserve. Now, they won't have to.Â
This is just the beginning. Our administration won't stop until every child has what they need to grow.

@NYCMOIACommr Faiza Ali and our team recently welcomed our Rapid Response Legal Collaborative partners @MaketheRoadNY , @unlocal , and @nylag to our office for a meeting. This meeting gave Commissioner Ali and our partners a chance to connect in person for the first time and discuss programming needs.
âWe thank our RRLC partners who provide essential legal assistance to those detained or at imminent risk of detention and deportation, who may not have the right to see an immigration judge, or who are otherwise facing a fast-track to removal.

Welcome home, Dylan.
Our City is overjoyed that Dylan has finally been released from detention and will be back home with his loved ones in the Bronx.
What should have been a time for him to focus on finishing high school instead became ten long months of isolation, after he was taken into custody at what was supposed to be a routine immigration hearing last May.
Throughout this injustice, Dylan has shown remarkable strength, resilience, and courage. I wish him a smooth and joyful return to his life, his community, and his future here in New York City. He is a New Yorker, and our city is glad to have him home.

Dylan is coming home!! After 10 long months of ICE detention, nothing can undo the injustice Dylan endured, but his release is a step in the right direction. Thank you to @senschumer, @nycmayor, so many others who offered unwavering advocacy and support.

Weâre grateful to the Legislature for restoring full funding for the IOLA Fund in their one-house budget proposals. Civil legal services help New Yorkers facing eviction, domestic violence, immigration challenges and more access justice when they need it most. đ§”

Civil legal services depend on stability to retain staff and meet rising need. But the Executive Budget funds IOLA nearly 25% below whatâs neededâthreatening jobs and services statewide. We urge @GovKathyHochul to fully fund IOLA in the 30-day amendments. #NYBudget #FullyFundIOLA
