New York will direct billions of dollars over the next decade to more than 1,700 disadvantaged communities identified in a new map to fight climate change. New federal funding will go towards conservation efforts in Connecticut. Tuition for SUNY schools could see a big jump over the next few years. And evictions in New York are back to pre-pandemic levels.

Sabrina is host and producer of WSHU’s daily podcast After All Things. She also produces the climate podcast Higher Ground and other long-form news and music programs at the station. Sabrina spent two years as a WSHU fellow, working as a reporter and assisting with production of The Full Story.
