NY: $6 million announced to promote citizenship initiatives
$6 million announced to promote citizenship initiatives
http://www.empirestatenews.net/News/20070918-3.html
Long Island/Albany -- Governor Eliot Spitzer Monday announced the awarding of $6 million in funding to organizations that help New York immigrants become United States citizens.
Nineteen community-based agencies have been awarded $5.5 million through the New York State Citizenship Initiative administered by the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance’s Bureau of Refugee and Immigrant Assistance.
The funding will help eligible immigrants navigate the citizenship application process. An additional $500,000 is being awarded specifically for services for older immigrants.
The $5.2 million in NYSCI funding is a three-year grant designed to help eligible immigrants who require assistance in completing and managing naturalization applications. Also, $300,000 will be used by the New York Immigration Coalition to assist immigrant and refugee service providers in interpreting immigration law, policy and procedures.
Through a second related initiative, $500,000 has been awarded to three agencies to provide services during a six-month demonstration period to assist older immigrants, who tend to be more isolated from their communities and require specialized services.
