DHS Announces $77 Million More in Funding to NGOs, Communities hit by Migrant Surge
It means over $770 Million has been awarded this fiscal year
The Department of Homeland Security this week announced an additional $77 million in funding for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and communities at the border and elsewhere that are dealing with the ramifications of the migrant crisis now in its third year.
DHS announced that the funding, which comes through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), will be made available to 53 recipients for "temporary shelter and other eligible costs associated with migrants awaiting the outcome of their immigration proceedings."
It brings the total amount handed out this fiscal year to more than $770 million. That funding originates from the omnibus bill signed by President Biden in December 2022. DHS has also requested $600 million in the FY 23 budget supplemental for similar FEMA funding to areas hit by the migrant wave.
