About HPD, the Office of Housing Access and Stability:
The New York City Department of Housing Preservation (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.

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.

The Division of Housing Opportunity ensures that HPD’s affordable housing is made available through fair, transparent, and accessible programming. Developers creating affordable housing are required to offer many types of units through an open lottery process on NYC Housing Connect and fill other units through a placement process for households in the City’s shelter system. The Division of Housing Opportunity (DHO) administers the housing lottery and homeless placements programmes, as well as programmes supporting applicants accessing affordable and supportive housing.

DHO crafts policy and procedures to ensure that these programmes offer equal opportunity to all applicants and affirmatively further fair housing.

The Housing Access Voucher Program (HAVP) is a new statewide rental subsidy programme for low‑income families and individuals who are facing eviction, currently homeless, or facing loss of housing due to domestic violence or hazardous living conditions. HAVP would be available to New Yorkers who may be ineligible for local or federal rental assistance programmes. HAVP would help low‑income New Yorkers achieve stability and retain permanent housing by subsidising their rent.

Tenants would contribute 30% of their income toward rent, with the rest covered by subsidies. HAVP will curb evictions, give households facing homelessness a path to secure permanent housing, and could be bundled to subsidise affordable housing construction.

As an HAVP Rental Assistance Analyst within the Rental Subsidy & Supportive Housing Coordination (RSSHC) Unit, you will help formerly homeless, senior, low‑income, and other vulnerable New Yorkers access affordable housing subsidies through HAVP. The team's primary responsibilities are to ensure that eligible tenants gain access to housing as quickly and efficiently as possible, and that the HAVP subsidy allocations are fully utilised in a timely manner and compliant with federal, local, and regulatory requirements.

Your role as HAVP Rental Assistance Analyst will be to manage the RSSHC portfolio using independent judgement and knowledge of administrative requirements for the Housing Access Voucher Program (HAVP). The Rental Assistance Analyst will provide application guidance to not‑for‑profit providers, other government agencies and answer questions regarding eligibility and administrative requirements for HAVP.
