“New York State has a rich tradition of welcoming immigrants, and upstate towns like Buffalo and Utica have seen incredible economic and cultural revitalization from the resettlement of refugees to those regions.
New York, NY—The New York State Legislature and Governor Hochul are poised to enact a $229 billion State budget for FY 2024, including a historic $63 million dollar investment in the Office of New Americans for legal and essential services.
Murad Awawdeh, Executive Director, New York Immigration Coalition:
“Today’s budget is an important step forward to improve the well-being of New York’s immigrant communities, but still much more is needed to ensure that all New Yorkers have equal opportunity and access to the services and support they need to raise families and thrive in New York.
