§ 10-26 Calculation of the CityFHEPS Subchapter C Rental Assistance Payment Amount and Subchapter C Unit Repair Grant.
RCNY § 10-26
(a)The monthly CityFHEPS rental assistance payment amount on behalf of a household will be calculated pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b) of 68 RCNY § 10-06 using the lower of (i) the maximum monthly rents set forth in subdivision (a) of 68 RCNY § 10-05 or (ii) the applicable rent set forth in the annual rent registration with the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal.
(b)Except as provided in 68 RCNY § 10-20, a household’s CityFHEPS rental assistance payments will not change until renewal, regardless of changes in household composition, income, the maximum monthly rent, or the actual rent for the Subchapter C unit.
(c)Once the owner has complied with 68 RCNY § 10-25, such owner of such unit will be issued payments as follows: (1) HRA will provide the owner with a Subchapter C Unit Repair Grant in the amount listed in HPD’s final certificate of eligibility, provided that such amount shall not exceed $25,000 for such dwelling unit.
(2)HRA will pay the first month’s rent in full plus the CityFHEPS rental assistance payments for the next three months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HRA will accommodate any request by the landlord to receive only the first month’s rent upfront.
(d)After making the payments described in subdivision (d) of 68 RCNY § 10-06 and paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of this section, HRA will pay the CityFHEPS rental assistance payments directly to the owner each month as long as the household remains eligible and funding for such payments remains available, except that HRA may in its discretion pay additional months of CityFHEPS rental assistance payments in advance where needed to address the goals set forth in the plan entitled Turning the Tide on Homelessness in New York City.
