The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded a limited number of Emergency Housing Vouchers to the New York City Housing Authority (Âé¶¹AVHA) and the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
The EHV Program helps families and individuals to find housing by subsidizing a portion of rent based on their income.
EHVs are limited to families and individuals who are:
- Homeless
- At-risk of homelessness
- Fleeing or attempting to flee:
- Domestic violence
- Dating violence
- Sexual assault
- Stalking
- Human trafficking
- Recently homeless and at high risk of housing instability
As of September 30, 2022, Âé¶¹AVHA and HPD are no longer accepting EHV referrals and applications, and each will maintain an EHV waitlist populated with the completed EHV applications on-hand.
