New York City will allocate more than $2 million in funding to help currently residing and newly arrived Ukrainians to "get access to immigration legal assistance, translation services, social services, and other resources,” according to a news release from Mayor Eric Adams’ office, APA reports citing CNN.
“The funds will go towards expanding personnel and increasing access to the robust resources that are available for all currently residing and new arrived Ukrainians. New York city will also offer an expanded suite of resources in the coming weeks,” the release says.
New York City is home to the largest Ukrainian population in the United States, Adams said at a news conference Friday.
