What Is Cityfeps

CITYFEPS is a rent supplement program designed to help eligible families with children residing in Department of Homeless Services (DHS) or HRA shelters, and survivors of domestic violence at risk of entering shelter through the Prevention Assistance and Temporary Housing (PATH) Intake Center, secure permanent housing.

How much does public assistance pay for rent in NYC?

HRA will pay for a one-bedroom apartment that costs up to $1,312 per month. If your income is $1,000 per month and the rent on your one-bedroom apartment is $1,312 (the maximum rent) HRA will calculate 30% of your income as $300 that you should pay towards rent.

Does Nycha accept Cityfeps?

CityFHEPS rent levels for apartments and SROs are indexed to the Section 8 standard adopted by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). If you house a tenant with CityFHEPS, you will receive rent payments directly from DSS/HRA.
