The purpose of this policy bulletin is to remind all Job Center staff that a Cash Assistance (CA) applicant/participant who places furniture and personal belongings in storage due to circumstances such as housing relocation, eviction or residence in temporary housing may be eligible for payment of storage fees as charged by the storage company that provides the storage. This includes storage of items in states other than New York. The storage payments may be paid as long as eligibility for CA continues and circumstances necessitating the storage continues to exist.
