The city still doesn't know how much of a $600.6 million national pot it will get, Gothamist reports.
HUD has issued guidance saying it will replace expiring Emergency Housing Vouchers with Tenant Protection Vouchers, Gothamist reports. City data shows 6,273 New York City households still receive the soon-to-expire aid. HUD said new vouchers will cover all families under lease in the program as of September 30, 2026.
The replacement program starts in December. HUD did not say how much the city will get, and the city's housing agencies have not yet received additional information.
