NYC has 600 Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV) for youth (under 25yo) in DYCD shelters and drop-in centers. The EHV vouchers are tenant-based Section 8 vouchers, so that means they will cover higher rent than CityFHEPS vouchers, and once you have this voucher for one year, you can move anywhere with it – even out of the state.
- If you are already living in a DYCD Crisis Shelter or TIL program or have a case manager at a DYCD Drop-in Center, you should ask ASAP about setting up a time for them to complete the referral process with you.
- If you are currently homeless and are under the age of 25yo OR if you are NOT already living in a DYCD Crisis Shelter or TIL program or connected with a drop-in center please contact May-Ling Ben, HMI’s case manager at Mben@hmi.org or another case manager in a youth program you are a member of.
