Learn about the new Family Homelessness & Eviction Prevention Supplement (FHEPS) program, a new subsidy program for families with children. The FHEPS program will be replacing the State Family Eviction Prevention Supplement (FEPS), CityFEPS, and LINC III programs as a result of a class action settlement.

We will cover who is eligible for FHEPS and how to refer your clients. In addition, we will discuss the conversion process which began in December 2017 for those who have FEPS, CityFEPS and LINC III and the issues around that.
