Greenburgh wants our Hispanic residents to feel welcome. We appreciate the diversity they bring to our town. To help them, we have a Hispanic liaison office, providing residents with numerous services.

The program was created to address the needs, concerns, fears and doubts of the Hispanic Residents in the Town of Greenburgh, by establishing a welcoming place where they can find guidance, information, education, advocacy, referrals, emotional assessments and opportunities to support them in their personal goals.

Providing services and resources in the community we attempt to alleviate stress and barriers. Hispanic residents can feel welcome and safe knowing that a staff speak their language.
