Federal Government Shutdown

The federally-funded Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) remains delayed until further notice as New York awaits funding from the federal government. Households lacking resources that can't afford a fuel delivery or are facing a utility shutoff can apply for Emergency Assistance through their local department of social services.

New York State has completed issuing full November SNAP benefits using federal funds. December SNAP benefits will be issued on a regular schedule without delay. The recently enacted federal spending bill also fully funds SNAP through the end of the federal fiscal year 2026.

Description:

The New York State (NYS) Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) announces a funding opportunity from the New York State homeless housing programs fund appropriated in the State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2021-22 Aid to Localities budget for the New York State Supportive Housing Program (NYSSHP). OTDA will make funding available statewide for eligible projects. Applications will be accepted from units of local government, local social services districts, tribal organizations and nonprofit corporations. NYSSHP funding is intended to support the provision of services that assist residents of supportive housing to remain stably housed so as not to enter or re-enter the homeless services system.

To qualify for funding, a private nonprofit organization must be one which is exempt from taxation under subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code, has an accounting system, a voluntary board of directors, and practices nondiscrimination in the provision of assistance. Additionally, a nonprofit corporation applying to OTDA for funds should provide certification from both the local social service district and the local Continuum of Care/local planning entity, supporting the project.

Current NYSSHP grantees under contract MUST apply for continued funding after 12-31-2021.
