The Housing Access Voucher Program (HAVP) is a proposed initiative aimed at addressing the growing homelessness issue in New York. Both tenant and landlord groups support the program, which seeks to provide state-funded rent vouchers to individuals and families earning less than 50% of the Area Median Income. Despite its introduction in the state legislature since 2020, the initiative has yet to become law. Proponents emphasize the urgent need for action as homelessness and housing insecurity continue to escalate, with over 130,000 individuals currently relying on shelter services in New York City.
"New York's housing crisis demands bold, immediate action. With homelessness rising at an alarming rate, we cannot afford to wait."
