The Family Homelessness and Eviction Prevention Supplement (FHEPS) is a rental subsidy for families with children in NYC who are on Cash Assistance (CA). In this course, we will briefly review key elements of the CA program, including how household size is determined and how income is calculated. We will cover FHEPS eligibility and the FHEPS benefit package, including how the FHEPS subsidy and rent share are calculated.
