Commissioner Park provides information on the distribution of CityFHEPS voucher users between those referred from shelters and those from the community.

  • Approximately two-thirds of new CityFHEPS voucher users each year come from shelters.
  • One-third of new users are from the community.
  • These proportions have remained relatively consistent over time, with some minor variations from year to year.
  • There are no specific vouchers set aside for community referrals; the distribution occurs naturally through the application process.

So of the lease ups each year, so people who start using a city FEPs voucher, about 2 thirds of them are people who are in shelter and a third of them are in community users.

You know, it varies on the margins from year to year, but those have been relatively consistent numbers.
