Quick answerYes, HASA rental assistance can be used in Belmont, the Bronx. As of October 8, 2026, HASA approves rent up to $2,646 for a studio, $2,762 for a one-bedroom and $3,058 for a two-bedroom, utilities included. It is one citywide schedule with no Belmont or ZIP code amount. Your caseworker must inspect the apartment, and HASA must approve the rent and the lease, before you move.
Last checked: October 8, 2026, against HRA's rent guidelines (form SPSVC-17, effective 9/10/2025), the CityFHEPS standards (DSS-8r), the NYU Furman Center profile of Belmont/East Tremont, the City's tabulation area map, and MTA station data and bus timetables. The HASA FAQ (form SPSVC-18, 06/12/2026) was read on October 4 and 7.

What the 2026 HASA Caps Actually Allow
HASA approves a Belmont rent up to the same maximum it uses in every borough, and the schedule that took effect on September 10, 2025 is still the one in force in October 2026. HASA is the HIV/AIDS Services Administration, part of the NYC Human Resources Administration (HRA). The guide to what HASA is covers the program itself.

| 3 bedrooms (5 or 6 people) | $3,811 | $3,596 |
| 4 bedrooms (7 or 8 people) | $4,111 | $3,857 |
What it means: a Belmont two-bedroom has to rent for $3,058 or less, or about $2,881 if you pay gas and electricity.

- No incomeyou pay $0 and HASA pays the full approved rent.
- Income other than Cash Assistanceyou pay 30% of gross household income, and HASA pays the rest.
- To the landlordHASA pays by check, twice a month.
What it means: a cheaper apartment does not lower your share. The worked budgets are in how much HASA pays for rent in 2026.

Watch outHASA's amounts are higher than the 2026 CityFHEPS table, which shows $2,997 for a two-bedroom (DSS-8r). An owner who quotes that figure is reading another program's table, the one in the Belmont guide for CityFHEPS.

How to Make an Offer on a Belmont Apartment With HASA
A HASA offer is three approvals in a row: the size, the rent and the apartment itself.
- 1Ask your caseworker for your figuresthe bedroom size HASA will approve for your household and the maximum rent for it. HRA says the published sizes are not a promise.
- 2Search for yourselfHRA says clients conduct their own apartment search. Your caseworker can give you a list of brokers who have worked with HASA clients before.
- 3Check the utilitiesheat and hot water have to be in the lease, apart from housing lottery apartments. If you would pay gas or electricity, the maximum rent is lower.
- 4Talk to your caseworker before you give up your current homeHRA tells clients not to leave an apartment before discussing the move.
- 5Wait for the caseworker's inspectionthe caseworker inspects the new apartment before approval, even if another agency has inspected it.
- 6Sign after approvalHASA approves the rent and the lease, then pays the owner by check twice a month.
What it means: nothing is paid on an apartment your caseworker has not approved, so do not sign first.
Source: HASA FAQ, form SPSVC-18 and SPSVC-17. HRA publishes no inspection checklist and no approval time for HASA.
- Your approved bedroom size and maximum rent, from your caseworker
- The HASA schedule (form SPSVC-17), which shows the citywide maximums
- Your caseworker's name and phone number for the owner
- Two questions for the owner: which utilities are in the rent, and when the apartment can be inspected
- A question for your caseworker about the broker fee and security deposit, because HRA has not published what HASA pays for either
Key pointHASA is a lawful source of income under the NYC Human Rights Law. The law covers most rentals, with exceptions for small owner-occupied buildings and units that are not publicly advertised (NYC Commission on Human Rights). If an owner or broker turns you away over HASA, see how to report a landlord who refuses your voucher.
Nearby Neighborhoods to Search
The HASA maximum is the same in every Bronx neighborhood, so widening the search does not change your budget.
| Neighborhood | HASA listings page |
|---|---|
| Fordham (shares ZIP code 10458) | HASA apartments in Fordham |
| Morrisania | HASA apartments in Morrisania |
| Mott Haven | HASA apartments in Mott Haven |
| Hunts Point | HASA apartments in Hunts Point |
| South Bronx | HASA apartments in the South Bronx |
If you hold a different subsidy, the Belmont guides for FHEPS and Section 8 use those programs' amounts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 2026 HASA rent caps for Belmont?
$2,646 for a studio, $2,762 for a one-bedroom, $3,058 for a two-bedroom, $3,811 for a three-bedroom and $4,111 for a four-bedroom, with all utilities included. They are citywide amounts from form SPSVC-17, in effect since September 10, 2025.
How does HASA differ from Section 8 or CityFHEPS?
HASA serves New York City residents diagnosed with HIV or AIDS who meet HRA's financial tests; symptoms have not been required since August 29, 2016 (HRA's HASA page). A HASA caseworker handles the case and inspects the apartment. How to apply for HASA has the steps and the ServiceLine number, 718-557-1399. For a first check of which program fits you, use the voucher eligibility tool.
What if the only listings in Belmont are above the cap?
HASA generally will not approve a rent above the maximum, and HRA publishes no option to pay the difference yourself. You can ask the owner whether the rent can come down, ask your caseworker whether a documented exception applies, or search a nearby neighborhood.
Should I expand my search beyond Belmont?
Search wider whenever the live table above shows nothing in your approved size. The maximum rent is identical across the city, so the Bronx HASA page and all voucher listings cost you nothing to check.
Does Belmont have subway access?
No subway station is listed inside Belmont. The MTA lists Fordham Rd stations on the B, D and 4 lines to the west, and the Metro-North Fordham station serves the Harlem and New Haven lines.
Next step: ask your caseworker for your approved size and maximum rent in writing, then open the HASA apartments in Belmont page and compare each rent with that figure.
