New York received the largest share of this round of FEMA funds among municipalities around the country, Schumer and Jeffries said in a joint Wednesday afternoon statement. “Thank you to Leaders Schumer and Jeffries for responding to the needs of New York City by helping to secure over $104 million in much needed funding and fighting for the five boroughs as we continue to face this humanitarian crisis,” Adams said. “We’ve already spent over $1.2 billion and expect to spend over $4.3 billion through next June, but it’s clear that without the efforts of our congressional leadership, New York City would not have received additional federal funding.
Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and Finance Chair Justin Brannan meeting with New York City’s Congressional delegation in Washington D.C.Brannan said council leadership’s discussions with federal officials on Tuesday indicated there’ll be more migrant funding coming to the city in the future as well.
