Funding Guide
A comprehensive guide to supportive housing funding in New York State.
A typical supportive housing residence receives funding from a patchwork of city, state, federal and private sources. Keeping tabs on these funding programs -- their guidelines, deadlines and fine print -- can be a cumbersome task. So the Network has created a Funding Guide, a one-stop resource for anyone looking to find funds for supportive housing.
Our Funding Guide offers up-to-date information and analysis on over 45 New York supportive housing funding streams. Each profile contains the basic facts and figures for its given program. These include rules on how to apply, details on which populations are eligible and links for more info. Users can search through profiles using the tools on the left-hand side of the page. These filters allow you to search for entries by funding Type (capital, operating, etc.) and Source (New York City, federal, etc.), among other variables. Our profiles are updated regularly to maintain the most current information possible. "Open" programs mean that organizations can submit an application for funding now. "Not Open" means that developers cannot, currently, submit an application for funding under this program.
