Extend Link Voucher For Free

CityFHEPS is a rent subsidy program administered by NYC Human Resources Administration (HRA) for households not eligible for State FHEPS who are in shelter or at risk of entering shelter and income is at 200% FPL. HRA has made changes to allow for flexibility during the pandemic.

Call us at 212-331-4640. You can also ask for help when you visit an HRA office. You have a right to ask for this kind of help under the law.

Eligible families can get FHEPS for up to five years. You can apply for an extension of FHEPS if you still need help. Your household must meet all eligibility requirements and prove that you have good cause for needing an extension.

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.

The CityFHEPS program generally provides for up to four annual renewals, with additional extensions available for ?good cause? (five years total). This five-year maximum does not apply to households that include someone who is 60 years old or older, or that include an adult who receives federal disability benefits.
