Harrisonburg, VA – Skyline Literacy (SL) regrets to announce that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has suspended and terminated our USCIS Citizenship and Integration Grant, eliminating a critical source of funding for the next two years. DHS cited that the scope of work under this grant “no longer effectuates the program goals and the Department’s priorities,” effectively requiring SL to cease all federally funded work immediately.

As a result, we have lost $239,900 in funding that would have provided essential citizenship preparation classes, naturalization support, and legal assistance to lawful permanent residents (LPRs) in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. This loss directly impacts our ability to serve immigrants seeking to become U.S. citizens. For more than 20 years, Skyline Literacy has provided high quality citizenship classes, tutoring, mock interviews, and referrals to help LPRs navigate the complex naturalization process. Without these funds, we must now rely on our community’s generosity to continue offering these vital services.
