New York Governor Kathy Hochul won’t provide any new funding to New York City to help manage its migrant crisis, marking a significant shift after tens of thousands of asylum seekers strained the city’s budget requiring state help.
Hochul, who previously committed to covering roughly a third of the city’s costs associated with sheltering migrants two years ago, signaled the change in the state budget on Tuesday. The $252 billion spending plan is still subject to negotiation and must be approved by the legislature.
