CCAP funding rises by $3 billion as voucher approvals resume

Background

Hochul raised CCAP income thresholds to open the program to more people, but demand soon outstripped the available funding.

The read

Hochul has increased funding for CCAP this year by $3 billion. Families are moving off the city’s waitlist, and 17 counties have recently started approving vouchers again. Utah recently lost about $21 million in federal funding. The state reduced income eligibility limits, and about 900 families expect to lose subsidies completely. Together, these developments raise the question of whether available funding will meet demand.
