Manage a caseload of assisted households by screening applications, verifying eligibility, and conducting client briefings for rental subsidy programs. Ensure compliance with Federal HUD rules and regulations while coordinating tenant-management relations and processing recertifications.
Requires a high school diploma or equivalent and three years of experience in community-centered work. Preferred candidates possess experience with Section 8 or other rental subsidy programs and strong communication skills.
About HPD, the Office of Housing Access and Stability:
The New York City Department of Housing Preservation Development (HPD) promotes quality and affordability in the city's housing, and diversity and strength in the city’s neighborhoods because every New Yorker deserves a safe, affordable place to live in a neighborhood they love.
- We maintain building and resident safety and health
- We create opportunities for New Yorkers through housing affordability
- We engage New Yorkers to build and sustain neighborhood strength and diversity.
HPD is entrusted with fulfilling these objectives through the goals and strategies of Housing Our Neighbors: A Blueprint for Housing and Homelessness, Mayor Adams’ comprehensive housing framework. HPD is committed to reducing administrative and regulatory barriers and make investments to tackle New York City’s complex housing crisis, by addressing homelessness and housing instability, promoting economic stability and mobility, increasing homeownership opportunities, improving health and safety, and increasing opportunities for equitable growth.
The Office of Housing Access and Stability (“HAS”) consists of the divisions of Housing Opportunity, Tenant and Owner Resources, Housing Stability, Budget and Program Operations, and Program Policy and Innovation. The mission of the office is to ensure fair, efficient, and transparent access to affordable housing. The Office provides subsidies, placement services, and tools that connect New Yorkers to affordable housing and ensures vulnerable households in subsidized housing have the support they need to be safely housed. Housing Access is committed to expanding housing choices, affirmatively furthering fair housing, and stabilizing the financial health of buildings.
Your Team:
At HPD, rent subsidy programs are administered by the Division of Tenant & Owner Resources (DTOR). HPD’s rental subsidies, including Section 8 or the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, provide funding to eligible low-income families for rental assistance toward decent, safe, and affordable housing in a neighborhood of their choice. Families pay approximately 30% of their income toward rent, and the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) pays the difference, directly to the owner. The unit must have a rent that is determined reasonable and affordable by HPD and must meet federal Housing Quality Standards (HQS) to be approved.
Your Impact:
HPD's Division of Tenant & Owner Resources (DTOR) is responsible for the administration of rental subsidy programs that include Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), Project Based Voucher (PBV), Moderate Rehab Section 8, Moderate Rehab Single Room Occupancy (SRO), and Continuum of Care (CoC)-Shelter Plus Care (SPC) and NYC 15/15. Through these programs, HPD serves over 40,000 households and 9,000 landlords in all five boroughs. DTOR is responsible for the initial application screening; confirming eligibility requirements; briefing applicants; and issuing vouchers. DTOR also monitors tenant and landlord compliance of their obligations under each program and continues to administer the ongoing subsidies throughout their participation. These continued activities include processing annual and interim recertifications to update family income/assets, household composition, and rent amounts; tenant moves and transfers; approved rent increases; Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) abatements and reinstatements to enforce Housing Quality
Standard (HQS) inspection results; and providing customer service to stakeholders through our Client Services office, call center and the DTR Portal.
Your Role:
All Case Managers in the Division of Tenant and Owner Resources are expected to perform case management functions to provide necessary and important services to assist and expedite Section 8 vouchers to HPD clients. These services may consist of meeting with groups in-house, attending workshops or attending community events. Case managers are also expected to participate in tenant activity programs and projects to coordinate functions that aim to improve tenant-management relations, as well as encourage participation related to Section 8 dealings. Additionally, Case managers will ensure participant cases are accurately screened and reviewed for completeness and in compliance with Federal HUD Rules and Regulations.
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage a caseload of assisted or applicant households
- Initial voucher application screening
- Determination and verification of eligibility
- Client briefings (internal and external meetings)
- May perform community outreach to assist Section 8 participation
- Prepare and send appropriate correspondence, track responses
- Document case files and electronic records, file preparation
- Rent calculations
- Review of yearly recertification’s of household composition and income/asset information
- Demonstrate ability to manage multiple cases while prioritizing cases for processing
- Attend mandatory trainings
Preferred skills
- Excellent Communication Skills (both orally and in writing)
- Strong Customer Service Focus
- Computer Proficiency
- Bilingual a Plus
- Section 8 or other Rental Subsidy experience a Plus
