After extensive advocacy, New York's Governor Kathy Hochul has indicated a potential $50 million allocation for the Housing Access Voucher Program (HAVP) in the upcoming state budget. This program aims to aid families facing homelessness and is seen as a groundbreaking compromise between landlord and tenant groups, despite being $200 million short of the desired funding. Advocacy groups, including Win and the Real Estate Board of New York, have pushed for this initiative, with supporters highlighting its potential impact in preventing homelessness across the state.
The proposed Housing Access Voucher Program is a step towards providing critical support for families facing homelessness, despite being $200 million short of its goal.
Christine Quinn, president and CEO of Win, emphasized that the funding is a monumental step forward in the fight to end homelessness and represents unprecedented collaboration.
