NYCHA Begins Processing Delayed Section 8 Payments Monday After HUD Funds Arrive

Public housing agencies across the U.S. report roughly a weeklong holdup tied to the 43-day shutdown.

NYCHA Wagner Houses (1958) at 2nd Ave and 122nd St on a clear summer day. It is a public housing development in the East Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, NYC and is administered by the New York City Housing Authority.

Overview

  • NYCHA says it has received full funding from HUD and is initiating December Housing Choice Voucher payments today, Dec. 8.
  • New York City landlords are expected to see funds this week as the authority processes the backlog.
  • HUD previously alerted agencies to delayed December disbursements, and PHAs began receiving transfers over the weekend.
  • The Boston Housing Authority was told Friday it would start receiving payments this week as agencies in Georgia, New York City and Boca Raton also experienced delays.
  • More than 500 public housing agencies faced an estimated December shortfall of $700 million to $800 million, according to prior reporting.
