For the first time in 15 years, City Hall on Monday temporarily reopened the Section 8 waitlist — giving low-income families an opportunity to apply for federal housing vouchers to rent private apartments.
Mayor Eric Adams’ administration reopened the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, which has not accepted new applications since 2009, on June 3. The federally-funded program, which the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) administers, is accepting new applications through 11:59 p.m. this coming Sunday, June 9.
