New York Gov. Hochul To Propose $2 Billion to Deal With Migrant Crisis – The Messenger

Category: Migrant Crisis

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will unveil a budget proposal for fiscal 2024 that includes $2.4 billion, according to a new report.

The Associated Press reports that Hochul's plan includes funding for healthcare and other areas in which New York City has expressed a need for assistance in handling the thousands of migrants Texas has been busing to the city.

Hochul's plan also includes funds for shelters and other housing opportunities for migrants in need of a place to stay.

New York City's struggle to house and care for migrants who have arrived in the city has prompted Mayor Eric Adams to call on President Joe Biden to declare a state of emergency and provide federal assistance.

New York City officials have estimated that the increase in migrants will cost the city $10 billion over the next year and a half. The state of New York has already earmarked $1.9 billion in emergency funds to handle the influx of asylum seekers.
