New York City Council finds money to spend supporting non-profits supporting migrants. On Wednesday, the announcement was made to give $1.2 million to these organizations.

This was leftover money and needed to be spent as the fiscal year for The City ends in four months.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently announced providing funding for one of her mayors. Unfortunately, the money won’t cover 100% of what’s needed.
