S 2982 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Requires shelter allowances be set at up to one hundred percent of the fair market rent for the local social services district

This bill requires local social services districts to set shelter allowances for recipients at up to 100% of the fair market rent for their specific unit size. It achieves this by mandating that the allowance match the actual rent obligation, using the current federal fair market rent figures as the maximum limit. The change applies to individuals receiving assistance and ensures their housing support covers the full cost of rent within their local area. The law would take effect 30 days after being signed into legislation.
