Cabrini Immigrant Services of New York has a new name, but the mission remains the same: Helping the city’s newest arrivals find a better life.

It was called Cabrini Immigrant Services when the Cabrini Sisters, members of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart of Jesus order and operators of the Cabrini Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation Services, founded the group in 1999 to provide services to immigrant families on the lower East Side.

But CCNR was unable to come to terms with a new landlord after its lease expired in April, and the Cabrini Center was forced to close its doors last month. That left Cabrini Immigrant Services to change its name and assume all responsibility for its programs and finances.
