WASHINGTON — The city of Chicago and state of Illinois will each receive, according to a Friday announcement, a mere $4.3 million in new federal funding to help with the swelling migrant crisis — far less than what was requested and is desperately needed.
The city and state each applied for new federal cash from the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Emergency Food and Shelter program, which on Friday allocated $332.5 million in disbursements to 35 local governments.
