For the first time, the city’s social services agency says it will allow people with CityFHEPS vouchers to find and rent apartments anywhere in New York state.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.New York City’s social services agency will soon allow low-income residents with city-issued housing vouchers to rent apartments in Buffalo, Binghamton, or any other part of the state under new rules intended to reduce record-high levels of homelessness, Adams administration officials told Gothamist on Tuesday.
The decision comes as New York City’s homeless shelter population continues to surge — largely driven by newly arriving migrants — and as median rents citywide reach new highs, all while the number of low-cost apartments dwindles. The move also comes as the Adams administration is trying towhich guarantee a shelter bed for anyone in need.
The CityFHEPS program covers the bulk of the rent for New Yorkers moving from shelters to permanent housing, and, in some cases, for low-income tenants facing eviction. Recipients pay 30% of their income toward rent, while the city covers the rest. “Housing mobility is a fundamental right that most of us take for granted,” Park said. “The more options we can give people for housing, the more likely we're going to be able to help households move out of shelter.”
