Dalton describes CityFHEPS history and scale
Dalton says CityFHEPS was established in November 2018 and now serves more than 71,000 households and 162,000 New Yorkers. She calls it part of a continuum of care and urges continued federal and state investment.
CityFAPS was established in November of 2018 with the consolidation of several predecessor housing voucher programs.
Today, CityFAPS serves more than 71,000 households and 162,000 New Yorkers.
CityFAPS serves as a component of a continuum of care that sets vulnerable New Yorkers on a path towards permanent housing.
While I am grateful to live and work in a city that cares for its vulnerable neighbors in this way, it is worth reminding us all that CityFAPS is one of several rental subsidies established to support
low-income people in need of housing assistance.
And I urge us all to continue to advocate for federal and state housing and rental subsidy investments, which have been cut considerably in recent years.
