NY: Long-Sought Rent Subsidy Goes Up for New York Foster Youth Leaving State Care
Imprint – June 01, 2023
The recently passed New York state budget increased rental subsidies for foster youth aging out of the system for the first time since 1988, raising the amount from $300 to $725 per month. The increase is aimed at combating homelessness among foster youth ages 18 through 21 and better supporting them as they enter adulthood. The rental subsidies are also available to families with a preventative child welfare case, funding designed to avoid foster care separations.
