EHV update!! Good news
HUD announced there will be a new voucher, the Tenant Protection Voucher (TPV) starting this December. Everyone who is in good standing with the EHV program and has NOT matched into Home TBRA (even if you matched but didn’t hear back from HPD yet) or another alternative housing option (A PACT/RAD or Public Housing Unit) will automatically be transitioned to a TPV in the next months. You don’t have to fill out any forms or do anything, and landlords/owners will be notified of this change as well. This means that you can stay in your home if you have not matched anywhere yet.
NYCHA will be hosting a webinar for participants on October 21st and HPD will have a webinar on October 15th at 6pm. NYCHA and HPD will be sending communication out about the TPV in the next week or so.
It’s been a long few months of a difficult process but here we are 🙏☺️
