Requiring information on the timeliness of city-funded rental payments.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring information on the timeliness of city-funded rental payments

This bill would require the Department of Social Services to, beginning March 1, 2024, submit to the speaker of the council and post on its website a quarterly report on the timeliness of CityFHEPS rental assistance payments. The report would include a table in which each row represents a unique voucher and would be required to include, at minimum, the rental assistance payment amount, the payment month, the zip code of the recipient, whether the payment was timely or late and why, and a description of steps to ensure timely payment in the future.
