A new application period is open through Feb. 1.
The expanded eligibility criteria includes that an applicant must be a renter and have a primary residence in New York; must have lost income during the period of April 1 to July 31, 2020; must have had household income before March 7, 2020, that was at or below 80% of the area median income, adjusted for household size; and must be rent-burdened during the months addressed in the application.

The program is not first-come, first-served, and residents who have applied previously do not need to reapply. The state will re-evaluate all applications that originally were denied with the new criteria.
