New York State Housing Access Voucher Program (HAVP) 

The New York State Housing Access Voucher Program (HAVP) is a four-year pilot program established to provide rental assistance to eligible homeless households and those facing imminent loss of housing.   

In New York City, HPD will administer HAVP, serving families who are experiencing homelessness. Families will be referred to HPD from agency partners, including the New York City Department of Social Services (DSS). Families receiving assistance under HAVP pay approximately 30% of their adjusted income towards rent.
