Important Update for ERAP Applicants

New York State ERAP applications are no longer being accepted.

Applications submitted before the application portal closed on January 20, 2023, including applications from subsidized housing tenants whose rent is limited to a certain percentage of income (including public housing, section 8 and FHEPS), are being reviewed and processed in the order received, consistent with State law and program rules.

Fair Hearings

A Fair Hearing is a chance for you to tell a hearing officer from OTDA why you think a decision about your case made by a local social services agency is wrong.

OTDA will then issue a written decision which will state whether the local agency's decision was right or wrong. The written decision may order the local agency to correct your case.
