Local Law 79/2022 and 136/2024 - Temporary Housing Assistance Usage

The Temporary Housing Assistance Report provides a monthly overview on emergency housing assistance usage, as codified in section 3-11.6 of the New York City Administrative Code (“Ad. Code”) through adoption of Local Law 79 of 2022 (“Local Law 79”) and Local Law 136 of 2024 (“Local Law 136”). Local Law 79 requires City agencies to report on, among other metrics, the utilization of and applications for multi-agency emergency housing assistance and exists from City-administered facilities. Local Law 136 builds on Local Law 79 to mandate further reporting on domestic violence emergency and tier II shelters.
