Portability

Housing Choice Vouchers are portable, meaning they can be transferred from one jurisdiction to another after the initial lease term.

Port-Ins

If you are a current voucher holder and you would like to port in to CVR New York Housing Choice Voucher Program, you must provide your current Public Housing Authority with our contact information. They will send the required information to our office. After we receive the information from your current Public Housing Authority, we will schedule your family for a briefing that must be attended by all household members ages 18 and older.

Please provide your current housing authority with our contact information as follows:



Port-Outs

If you are a current participant of the CVR New York HCVP and you would like to port-out to another jurisdiction, you must first contact your Housing Specialist and provide your Housing Specialist with the contact information of the Public Housing Authority you intend to port to. You are required to complete the Notice to Vacate process and if you are in good standing with the program and have no lease violations, we will then forward the appropriate information to the Public Housing Authority you are porting to.
