Arizona has secured $55 million in federal funds from FEMA to support border communities and provide humanitarian aid to migrants. The funding, aimed at helping local governments and nonprofits manage the influx of asylum seekers and prevent street releases, includes key allocations of $21,827,581 for Pima County, $11,606,329 for Maricopa County, and similar amounts for World Hunger initiatives in Maricopa and Yuma. Senators Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema have been instrumental in securing these funds and advocating for common-sense fixes to ensure Arizona communities receive the necessary resources.

Arizona’s local governments and nonprofits are on the frontlines working to keep our communities and asylum seekers safe. Senator Sinema and I fought for these resources, and we’ll continue demanding the federal government prioritize border communities. https://t.co/de48CmhFLD
