Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a $27 million relief fund for excluded workers after Hurricane Ida took the lives of 13 people and left many properties in Queens destroyed. 

This relief comes in an effort to reach many immigrant families who were ineligible for funds through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) unless there was a documented child in the family.
