The grant, awarded on November 22, 2024 with a completion date of September 30, 2026, will support the organization's provision of comprehensive citizenship preparation services to lawful permanent residents. Key services to be delivered include citizenship instruction, naturalization application assistance, English language classes, and broader immigrant integration support.
