VETERAN HOUSING RENTAL INCENTIVES


At the end of December 2015, the federal government announced an end to chronic veteran homelessness in New York City, following a two-year effort by Mayor de Blasio to help veterans who have been homeless for a year or longer find a home. We continue our work to move additional veterans into permanent housing. To support this effort, the incentives described below are currently available to landlords, brokers, and supportive housing providers.

  • 15% Broker Bonus (15% of the annual rent) for brokers who connect homeless veterans with LINC apartments or units that can be subsidized using HUD VASH, HPD Section 8, and MRT vouchers.
  • $1,000 Landlord Incentive for every apartment and commercial SRO with a one-year lease signed by a homeless veteran.
  • $500 Room Rental Incentive to landlords renting rooms through the LINC program for every one-year lease signed by a homeless veteran.
  • $1,000 Bonus to Supportive Housing (SH) Providers for each community unit rented to a veteran with a HUD VASH, HPD Section 8, or MRT voucher.
  • $2,000 Bonus to Supportive Housing Providers for each community unit rented to a veteran with a LINC voucher.
  • Access to a Special Supplemental Assistance Fund of up to $3,000 per year for landlords who house veterans, to cover potential damage to the apartment, as well as to assist with the payment of rental arrears, if needed.

  • Veterans Affairs Homeless Programs

    Landlords have a unique opportunity to give back to those who have served. Veterans have selflessly defended our nation in times of need — and landlords can make a positive impact by protecting these individuals from the risk of homelessness. Housing Veterans doesn’t just provide shelter, but can lead to life-changing health, social, and socioeconomic outcomes for them and their families. Furthermore, housing Veterans provides a mutually beneficial relationship; landlords will benefit from responsible, often long-term, renters, support from VA, and guaranteed payments that come through Housing Choice Vouchers or grantees offering short-term subsidies.

  • Housing Discrimination

    Neighbors Together

    What is Source of Income Discrimination (SID)…and how do you fight it?

    When a landlord refuses to accept your housing voucher, that is called Source of Income Discrimination (SID), and it is illegal. If you plan on using your voucher program or public assistance to pay rent and a landlord or broker tells you…

    • No vouchers
    • They have nothing available for voucher holders
    • You don’t meet the credit or income requirements
    • They ignore you or tell you they will call you back after you mention your voucher

    …they are discriminating against you and it should be reported! We can fight back against discriminating landlords and even help you get an apartment when we report discrimination against vouchers.
