FOR NEW YORK PROPERTY OWNERS

CityFHEPS Leasing, Made Simpler.

We match your apartment with a household that has an active CityFHEPS shopping letter, prepare the full HRA package and see it through to move-in. See our five-step process, what you receive at lease-up, and answers to common questions.

  • 01

    Property & Leasing Review

    A successful lease-up starts with a clear plan. We review your available apartments, asking rents, availability dates, and property registration status to identify what’s ready—and what needs attention.

    Whether your units are vacant today or opening up soon, we help you get organized, address potential roadblocks, and take the next steps toward leasing.

  • 02

    Connect with prospective tenants

    We market your apartment, coordinate with prospective tenants and housing specialists, arrange showings, and help organize applications.

    Our role is to keep communication moving between the people involved so interest in your apartment can progress toward a complete application.

  • 03

    Bring the paperwork together

    We bring the pieces together—coordinating lease and agency documents, gathering missing information, and following up with the parties involved to keep your leasing package moving through review.

    You’ll know what’s been submitted, what’s still needed, and what comes next.

  • 04

    Walkthrough & approval

    We coordinate the final steps—from payment paperwork to move-in arrangements—so owners, tenants, and housing specialists stay informed.

    For eligible new CityFHEPS leases, owners can receive the first month’s rent in full, plus the next three months’ CityFHEPS rent supplement upfront, subject to HRA approval and processing.

  • 05

    Moving day

    The tenant gets the keys, and your vacant apartment becomes an occupied home. We help coordinate the handoff and follow up on initial rent payments, with timing subject to HRA processing.

Have an apartment? We’ll get a family moved in.

We match your apartment with a household that has an active CityFHEPS shopping letter, prepare the full HRA property owner package, and see it through to move-in.

Rent paid up front. For new rentals, HRA offers the first month’s rent in full plus the next three months’ supplement at lease-up.

Security voucher. An HRA security voucher stands in for the cash deposit.

Monthly checks from the City. DSS/HRA pays its share each month for up to five years while the household stays eligible.

We do the package. W-9, Landlord Information Form, utility form and lease rider, prepared and tracked to approval.

Free Voucher-Ready Review. Send us the apartment using the form and we’ll review registrations, unit readiness and the maximum CityFHEPS rent, then tell you the next steps. No cost, no obligation.

Rent, payment timing and broker-fee eligibility depend on current program requirements and agency approval.

Property owner questions, answered

  • DSS/HRA sends a check each month for the subsidy portion of the rent. The household generally pays a share of about 30% of its income directly to the owner.

  • Up to five years while the household remains eligible, with extensions available for good cause.

  • For a new apartment rental, the owner can choose the first month's rent in full plus the next three months' supplement up front, along with an HRA security voucher.

  • HRA schedules a walkthrough to confirm the apartment is safe and habitable. We help the owner prepare for it.

  • CityFHEPS is a City program run by DSS/HRA. Section 8 is federal and administered locally by NYCHA and HPD. The paperwork, inspections and payment portals differ.

  • No. Side payments above the lease rent are prohibited under program rules, and we never arrange them.
