SUMMARY: In FY 2005, ORR awarded a competitive service grant for the 
Individual Development Account (IDA) Program grant to New York 
Association for New Americans, Inc. (NYANA) in New York, NY. The 
original project was from September 29, 2005, through September 30, 
2010. NYANA served as the fiscal sponsor and legal entity of the 
approved project. As of February 1, 2009, NYANA has ceased operations 
of the Individual Development Account program. NYANA has requested ORR 
permission for the Center for Community Development for New Americans 
(CCDNA) to assume the grant. CCDNA has agreed to this request. The 
effect of this deviation 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.
