What happened
Governor Kathy Hochul requested a physical disaster declaration from the U.S. Small Business Administration for Capital Region counties following historic July floods. Separately, her office restored $36 million in funding for essential services provided by Rape Crisis Centers, Domestic Violence Providers, and Child Advocacy Centers in New York. Additionally, a $37 million affordable housing project, Homesteads at Dunkirk Landing, was groundbreaking in Dunkirk.
Why it matters
The actions involve significant state and federal financial commitments toward infrastructure, housing, and social services. The restoration of grant dollars and the initiation of large-scale housing projects directly support local economies and public service providers in New York.
Kathy Hochul is involved in state initiatives in New York.
