Family Homeless Services - What To Expect

If your family is found eligible, you will be placed in temporary emergency housing. Shelters are run by non-profit and other organizations. When in shelter, all clients will be expected to follow certain guidelines, which include:

* Following your family's Independent Living Plan (ILP), which includes the steps you will need to follow to get permanent housing;

* Applying for public assistance or another type of housing subsidy;

* Working closely with your caseworker or housing specialist to locate and view available apartments;

* Actively seeking permanent housing for you and your family by viewing available apartments several times per week;

* Accepting a suitable apartment for you and your family when it is offered to you; and

* Following shelter guidelines that prohibit behavior that places other clients and staff at risk.


Failing to stick to these rules may have serious consequences. By working closely with shelter staff and following these and other rules, the City of New York will assist you in quickly moving from shelter to permanent housing.
