- Op-Ed | It’s time to remove the barriers that prevent CityFHEPS from working effectively
Over 100,000 people, including children, in New York City will sleep in shelters tonight. The CityFHEPS housing voucher program, the largest in the nation, faces significant delays and bottlenecks, preventing 80% of eligible households from using vouchers effectively. Delays in inspections, paperwork, and agency coordination cause families to wait over a year for housing, exacerbating educational disruptions and trauma for children.
