New York State Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation S.6573/A.8009 at the Lincoln Square Neighborhood Center at Goddard Riverside. This legislation makes housing vouchers available to eligible families under the Family Homelessness and Eviction Protection Supplement (FHEPS) program in New York City. The legislation raises the maximum rent payable under the FHEPS program to cover the true cost of rent in New York City, one of the most expensive housing markets in the nation.
