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.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has decided not to allocate any new funding to help New York City manage its migrant crisis. This marks a notable change in her policy, after previously committing to cover about a third of the city's costs related to sheltering migrants two years ago.

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.

The lofty wish list — a $8.6 billion annual spending hike — runs in accord with the administration’s affordability agenda, which Hochul teased during last week’s State of the State address.

Her budget made no mention of "cap and invest," the program she proposed two years ago as a central strategy for reducing fossil fuels emissions.
