Affordable housing can be very challenging to find in a City as expensive as New York. This challenge was made even more difficult for homeless New Yorkers during the last mayoral administration due to changes made in priority for public housing and the elimination of other housing subsidies. The Coalition continues to advocate for prioritizing homeless New Yorkers for public housing and for increased housing options to address this crisis.
Although housing options are limited at present, there may be a program or resource you qualify for listed below (depending on your individual circumstances) — please also use the links included for more detailed information on each type of assistance.
