Congratulations to @CMCrystalHudson on your appointment as Committee on General Welfare Chair. This committee sits at the heart of the fight to end family homelessness, and we can’t think of a better champion for New York’s families. Win is excited to continue our partnership!
Congratulations to @CMNantashaW, @CMShaunAbreu, @CMKevinCRiley, and @CMLindaLeeNYC on their leadership roles— and to @SpeakerMenin for leading the way. This will be an incredibly powerful and effective City Council, and Win is excited to partner together for New York families.
CityFHEPS is a critical lifeline for tens of thousands of NYC families. A new state audit highlighting administrative challenges reinforces what we’ve long seen on the ground: delays and inefficiencies are keeping families from accessing housing faster.
That’s why Win is calling on the City to implement our CityFHEPS recommendations to reduce delays: automate application processing & income verification, enforce clear timelines for approvals & payments, & streamline inspections so families aren’t kept shelter due to red tape.
Fixing CityFHEPS the right way will help families leave shelter faster, reduce costs, and make the program work as intended, without creating new delays or barriers. Read our full statement here: https://winnyc.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/City-FHEPS-Statement.pdf
