Duration
18 months
Description
Naturalization is a foundational component of immigrant civic integration that brings significant social, economic, and civic benefits not only to families, but also to communities, states, and the country as a whole. Yet, more than 650,000 lawful permanent residents in New York City (NYC) have not taken the final step of naturalizing for reasons ranging from cost and misinformation, to lack of access to good counsel and more. The NYC Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) recognizes the importance of educating eligible persons about the naturalization process and the substantial benefits it will bring to their families, their communities, and themselves. With Corporation support, MOIA will use the city’s public library network to provide naturalization services, such as community citizenship clinics and application assistance, including access to Citizenshipworks, a web-based application tool.
