SUMMARY: In FY 2007, ORR awarded a competitive service grant for the

New Americans, Inc. (NYANA) in New York, New York. The original project 
was from September 29, 2007, through September 30, 2012. NYANA served 
as the fiscal sponsor and legal entity of the approved project. As of 
February 1, 2009, NYANA has ceased operations of the Microenterprise 
Development Program. NYANA has requested ORR permission for the Center 
for Community Development for New Americans (CCDNA) to assume the

request is to transfer the grant from the initial grantee to a new 
grantee with all the responsibilities of managing and implementing the 
project for the remainder of the grant period.
