Supportive housing programs in New York, which provide onsite services for thousands of residents, face an uncertain future as advocates anticipate federal funding cuts under President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration.
These programs, supported by subsidies from state and federal sources, risk losing critical financial backing, potentially forcing the state to increase its contributions to maintain the current housing stock.
Proposed federal cuts could target key programs like Section 8 housing vouchers, which help low-income tenants cover rent.
Advocates stress the urgency of securing resources to sustain existing units and expand supportive housing as demand continues to rise.
