§ 10-16 Subchapter B Units.
RCNY § 10-16
(a)HRA will designate certain housing units in New York City as Subchapter B units towards which rental assistance under this subchapter may be applied. Subchapter B units will be operated by not-for-profit providers pursuant to contracts with the City and will be targeted to specific populations within DHS shelters who meet the requirements set forth in 68 RCNY § 10-03(a)(1) - (6) or 68 RCNY § 10-04(a). Subchapter B units may comprise an entire building or a substantial number of units within a building. HRA will designate Subchapter B units based on factors including the provider's capacity, geographic location and demonstrated level of organizational capability, and the best interests of the City. Prior to a CityFHEPS participant moving in, each Subchapter B unit must pass a safety and habitability assessment performed by DSS or another public agency approved by DSS.
(b)Tenants of Subchapter B units must have either an occupancy agreement or a rent-stabilized lease with a Subchapter B provider. The rents shall be set by contract and be equal to the lesser of the legal rent for the unit or the maximum rent set by HRA pursuant to 68 RCNY § 10-05.
(c)Subchapter B providers must make case management services available to tenants of Subchapter B units. (Added City Record 10/28/2021, eff. 11/28/2021)
