City Backtracks on CityFHEPs Voucher Incentive, Will Subject Rule Change to Public Review
Incentives for landlords to hold units for CityFHEPs voucher holders will continue, at least temporarily, after a court appearance Thursday morning where lawyers for the City of New York stated their intention to send the rule change through an official public review process.
The incentive pays one month’s rent for voucher holders moving into housing from shelter while the city processes their applications. As City Limits first reported, the Department of Social Services had, in a late May email, announced that it would be ending the payment in an effort to rein in costs.
Landlords, brokers, lawyers, and tenants told City Limits that eliminating the payment would make it harder for landlords to take CityFHEPS.
