Federal Government Shutdown

Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown and the lack of federal funding, the start of applications for the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) has been delayed until further notice. The shutdown is not yet affecting other programs overseen by the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance — including Public Assistance and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Applications for Public Assistance and SNAP are continuing to be accepted, benefits are being provided, and use of benefit cards are not impacted at this time. If the shutdown continues into November, benefits for SNAP could be delayed. This message will be updated as additional information becomes available.

Call your representative now to let them know how these cuts would impact you, your family, and your community.

New York State Supportive Housing Program RFP

Issue Date:
06/02/2021, updated 06/17/2021
Description:

The New York State (NYS) Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) announces a funding opportunity from the New York State homeless housing programs fund appropriated in the State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2021-22 Aid to Localities budget for the New York State Supportive Housing Program (NYSSHP). OTDA will make funding available statewide for eligible projects. Applications will be accepted from units of local government, local social services districts, tribal organizations and nonprofit corporations. NYSSHP funding is intended to support the provision of services that assist residents of supportive housing to remain stably housed so as not to enter or re-enter the homeless services system.

To qualify for funding, a private nonprofit organization must be one which is exempt from taxation under subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code, has an accounting system, a voluntary board of directors, and practices nondiscrimination in the provision of assistance. Additionally, a nonprofit corporation applying to OTDA for funds should provide certification from both the local social service district and the local Continuum of Care/local planning entity, supporting the project.

Current NYSSHP grantees under contract MUST apply for continued funding after 12-31-2021.
