WASHINGTON — Former Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros said Monday that he plans to create a nonprofit that will help integrate newcomers to U.S. society by improving their English and expanding their participation in military service and civic activities.
Cisneros, who served in the Clinton administration, said he hopes to launch the group this year to “proselytize” the significance of immigrants and “the absolutely invaluable role they’ll play in the American future.”
The group would team with churches, schools and other nonprofits to offer a “life plan” on how people integrate into American society, he said.
