Deposit Break Voucher For Free

1. In New York City, Section 8 covers one-bedroom apartments priced at $1,945 per month and two-bedroom apartments priced at $2,217. Before the new law matched those Section 8 rates, CityFHEPS vouchers only covered rents of $1,265 a month for a single adult and $1,580 for a family of three or four.

The FHEPS increase comes just months after the city dramatically increased its own version of the voucher, CityFHEPS, from $1,265 to $1,900 for an individual and from $1,580 to $2,217 for a family of four; the new voucher amounts bring the program in line with disbursals provided by the federal Section 8 voucher.

FHEPS Transfers There are no official domestic violence transfer regulations for FHEPS. While FHPS was never designed to be a portable/transferrable subsidy tenants may be able to get permission to move due to domestic violence but will need approval of the state agency in charge of FHEPS (OTDA) to do so.

The maximum rent that CityFHEPS will allow is $800 per month. What kind of housing can I rent using CityFHEPS? Where can I use my CityFHEPS (continued)? The payment standards below are the maximum amount of subsidy that HRA will pay to the owner or landlord on behalf of the CityFHEPS tenant.

The program is administered by the Department of Social Services (DSS), which includes both the Department of Homeless Services (DHS) and the Human Resources Administration (HRA). CityFHEPS rent levels for apartments and SROs are indexed to the Section 8 standard adopted by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA).

Also, in certain circumstances, we may extend your subsidy beyond the five-year limit for good cause. When you are approaching your five-year limit, we will mail you an application for good cause renewal.
