Renting with FHEPS in DUMBO: the short version

  1. 1Check that you fit the program. FHEPS is for households with a child under 18 or a pregnant household member, who receive or are eligible for Cash Assistance, and who are facing eviction or lost housing because of domestic violence or a health or safety problem.
  2. 2Bring the eviction paper. The eviction notice, court summons, or landlord's formal rent demand is the document that moves an application.
  3. 3Apply through HRA, Homebase, or Housing Court. All three routes end at HRA.
  4. 4Pair it with a One-Shot Deal if you owe back rent. FHEPS pays rent going forward.
  5. 5If you are moving, search inside the rent limit. When the plan is a new apartment, HRA has to approve the rent before you sign.
  6. 6Keep the case open. FHEPS continues as long as you stay eligible for Cash Assistance.
