The most recent extension was established to offer more time to help the community organizations distribute assistance and give applicants more time to gather information and the documentation they need to apply and be approved.

“The Ida Relief Fund is a crucial resource for excluded New Yorkers who experienced the worst from Hurricane Ida. This extension is very good news for our communities, as it provides more time to ensure that as many of our neighbors as possible receive the help they need,” Theo Oshiro, the co-executive director of the immigrants’ rights organization Make The Road, said in a statement.
