Despite a shrinking national pot, New York will not suffer any cuts in federal anti-terror money.

In fact, the city will match last year’s $151.6 million in Homeland Security aid, even as other cities receive 42 percent less, Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand announced yesterday.

The two Democrats called the money vital to a surveillance program that protects downtown Manhattan and that is expanding to Times Square and Midtown.

The city’s share of Urban Areas Security Initiative funding will go from 21 percent of last year’s $725 million fund to 31 percent of this year’s $490.3 million.
