Expanding citizenship for kentucky S legal permanent residents

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has awarded a $325,445 Project Grant to Catholic Charities of Louisville Inc. under the Citizenship Education and Training program (CFDA 97.010). The 3-year grant, effective from Oct 1, 2024 to Sep 30, 2027, will support Catholic Charities in providing comprehensive citizenship preparation services for legal permanent residents in Kentucky. This includes delivering citizenship instruction, naturalization application assistance, English language classes, and broader integration services to help immigrants gain the knowledge and skills necessary for successful integration into American society. As a designated refugee resettlement agency, Catholic Charities Refugee Service will leverage its expertise to promote instruction and training on the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship, ultimately facilitating the naturalization process for eligible immigrants in the region.
