§ 10-22 Household Requirements.

RCNY § 10-22

(a)The household must: (1) Provide accurate, complete and current information on income and household composition; (2) Provide supporting documentation as necessary to verify eligibility and the information needed to determine the CityFHEPS rental assistance payment amount, maximum monthly rent, and any required contributions by household members; and (3) Agree to have its CityFHEPS rental assistance payments paid directly to the landlord.

(b)The household must pay to the landlord each month the difference between the CityFHEPS rental assistance payment amount and the household's rent, minus any PA shelter allowance and any third party contributions paid to the landlord.

(c)The household must promptly notify the landlord if its total monthly gross income decreases or its household size changes. If the household resides in an SRO and plans to add to the household a person under the age of 18, it must inform the landlord immediately so that the household can be given the opportunity to seek approval to move to an appropriate unit pursuant to 68 RCNY § 10-21.

(d)If any member of the household has been determined to be eligible for HRA shelter under Section 452.9 of Title 18 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations, the household must not include the perpetrator of the domestic violence that resulted in such determination.

(e)The household must otherwise cooperate fully with the City in its administration of the CityFHEPS Program. (Added City Record 10/28/2021, eff. 11/28/2021)
