Your Impact:

The City Housing Assistance Program (CHAP) is a city funded rental assistance program administered by the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The program provides rental assistance to low-income households with incomes at or below 50% of Area Median Income (AMI) who are at risk of homelessness, including eligible rent-stabilized households facing eviction for nonpayment of rent and certain households residing in shelter who do not qualify for existing rental assistance programs. CityHAP helps eligible households maintain stable, permanent housing by subsidizing their rent, with the household generally contributing 30% of its adjusted monthly income toward rent. The program provides targeted assistance to New Yorkers facing housing instability while helping preserve rent-stabilized housing and prevent homelessness.
