CityFHEPS

If you are currently receiving CityFHEPS and your income has changed or your CityFHEPS rent has increased, your local Homebase can assist you with requesting a modification to your CityFHEPS Rental Assistance Supplement.

If your household has had a change such as less income, an increase in rent, new household member etc., and you need to request a modification, download and submit the Modification Request form from our CityFHEPS documents page (listed under Additional Documents for Tenants).

If you failed to renew your CityFHEPS, you can still do so! The fastest and easiest way is to submit online through the ACCESS HRA website (www.nyc.gov/accesshra) or on the ACCESS HRA mobile app. You can also download a Renewal Request form from our CityFHEPS documents page (listed under Additional Documents for Tenants). Once you complete it, send it to us by email or mail as indicated on the form, along with copies of any necessary documents. The agency will send you a receipt once your application is submitted. The receipt will be sent to you in the same way you renewed your application.

CityFHEPS has combined the LINC, SEPS and CityFEPS rental assistance program into one. This makes it easier for people to get help, for landlords to get paid, and for DSS to manage cases. New LINC, SEPS, and CITYFEPS applications are no longer being accepted.

Starting April 1, 2019, current SEPS and LINC 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 clients will switch to CityFHEPS when they renew. CITYFEPS clients will be transitioned to CityFHEPS over the next year.

Nothing will change for clients already enrolled in LINC 6.

If you need additional help or have an issue with the rental amount, call the Rental Assistance Call Center through the DSS OneNumber at 718-557-1399.
