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.
