As a result of changes in the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) policy, a maximum shelter schedule has been established for public assistance (PA) and Food Stamp (FS) participants who also participate in the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. Under the new schedule, the household’s PA shelter allowance cannot exceed 30 percent of the standard of need for the family size.
