Governor Kathy Hochul announces $27 million dollars for undocumented residents impacted by Hurricane Ida

New York – According to Governor Kathy Hochul, $27 million dollars in storm aid will be given to undocumented New York State residents impacted by the flooding caused by Hurricane Ida.

The aid will be disbursed by providing grants to non-profit organizations in communities, Gov. Hochul said.

According to Gov. Hochul, she pledged she would do everything she could after seeing the damage and wants to provide financing to undocumented residents that are ineligible for FEMA relief.

The most affected people are those who live in areas where the stormwater and sewer systems could not handle the rain, which includes basement apartments.

The program will be handled through the New York State Office for New Americans.
