New York is set to receive the first federal dollars to help pay for costs incurred during the ongoing migrant crisis, but the amount awarded is less than 1% of City Hall’s total $1 billion request, The Post has learned.
The $7.89 million will be used to reimburse the city for spending on the crisis prior to Oct. 1, according to City Hall.

Adams — who’s asked the federal government for $1 billion to pay for migrant housing and services — said there were “real dollar amounts” tied to the state of emergency he declared in October.
But when two reporters invoked Biden in their questions, Hizzoner wouldn’t even utter the name of his 80-year-old fellow Democrat.
“Listen, we have to solve the migrant, immigrant issue, so it’s easy to point to whoever’s in the White House at the time. Those are Band-Aids.”
Adams’ remarks came a day after revealing that he’d learned Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis was “going to be sending migrants to places like New York City and Chicago.”
Adams called that move “unfair to local governments,” adding, “There is no more room at the inn.”

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis is busing migrants who recently arrived in Denver from the southern U.S. border to other major cities.
Why it matters: The Democratic governor’s move echoes actions by Republican governors in Texas and Florida that were labeled callous and cruel.
Driving the news: In a statement Tuesday, Polis said his administration is helping migrants reach their intended destinations.
Colorado earmarked $5 million to assist people identified as migrants, including helping them purchase bus tickets. About half the money is allocated already.
“There is a lot of pent-up demand right now and a lot of frustration among our migrants who have been trapped for a week or two in a place they didn’t want to be through no fault of their own,” Polis told Politico.
