Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) Testimonies! (NOT NYC)
Hey everyone, I hope everyone is having a good day today! I just wanted to share some Emergency Housing Voucher Testimonies I have been seeing. While this information does not affect New Yorkers, these testimonies are to ignite hope within everyone who has an Emergency Housing Voucher in New York City!
I just saw that a Housing Authority “Georgia Department Of Community Affairs” ( DCA) , just informed their EHV tenants today, 6/25/26, that they were able to get funding from HUD to last until December 31,2026. Originally, I believe they were the first Housing Authority to run out of funds for EHV participants, with expected funds to run out June 30th,2026.
This new announcement to these families makes a HUGE difference. It gives families more time to get themselves together because June 30th is next week; Now they have until December.
Another testimony from Housing Authority in California, for county San Bernardino (pictured). They advised their EHV participants that EHV was ending in December 2026. However, the Housing Authority was able to gather funds by finding ways to save cost in other programs funded by HUD, to transfer the EHV participants to HCV (Housing Choice Voucher) aka regular section 8. Some families will have a higher portion to pay to offset some costs, but they will be able to stay in their homes !
There may be a lot going on with this program on a Nationwide level, but trust and believe God is showing up to help us! I say all of that to say this, don’t lose hope!!
I’ve included a picture and link to the DCA website for proof to my context.
