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.

Supported Housing for Families and Young Adults (SHFYA) 2007-2008

Appropriation Level: $5,000,000

The purpose of the Supported Housing for Families and Young Adults (SHFYA) Program is to provide comprehensive support services designed to stabilize, enhance employability, and/or enhance self-sufficiency for those residents (eligible families and young adults between the ages of 18 and 25) of supported housing who are formerly homeless, at risk of homelessness, and/or have exceeded or risk exceeding the TANF time limits. The SHFYA program has two contract cycles. Though awards are allocated annually, the program operates through multi-year contracts. Contracts resulting from the SFY 2005-06 $2.5M appropriation commenced on September 1, 2005 and are scheduled to end on November 30, 2010 with extension. They are currently on a fifth annual funding cycle, which began on 9/1/09 and has been extended through 11/30/10 and is supported by $2.5M of the SFY 2009-10 appropriation. The SHFYA appropriation was increased to $5.0M in SFY 2006-07, which has allowed for a new procurement for additional SHFYA sponsors.

Contracts resulting from the increase of $2.5M commenced on March 1, 2007, and the 2007-08 funding cycle ended on February 28, 2009. The multiple-year contract is scheduled to terminate on February 28, 2011.
