Lutheran Family Services in the Carolinas, an ELCA-affiliated social ministry organization, received a $100,000 grant from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to expand its citizenship assistance from 39 to 240 people a year. That will include a full-time citizenship counselor, citizenship assistance to women who became permanent residents through the Violence Against Women Act, staff to help legal permanent residents with English skills and more.
