Moving to NYC, are there any housing programs? -

i want to move to nyc are there any housing programs for people out of state. Even if it is a temp housing assistance please let me know. I m want to move to NYC to start my masters degree, and the school doesn t offer grad housing. I m being realistic it will probably talk me about2-3 months to find employment in NYC so this is why I ask about housing assistance. I m open to queens or Brooklyn and maybe the Bronx. Prefer no roomate,studio is fine. Any thoughts thanks

NYC has as good a social services safety net as there is in the country, but what you re looking for really isn t available. With one of the highest unemployment rates in the US, the city and its taxpayers can t be expected to provide services to people who want to move here and look for a job. In fact, the opposite is in place: the city has a program that will help unemployed and homeless people leave to go to another state (as long as they have family support there; the city isn t just offloading the problem elsewhere).Your best bet is probably to be sure you re looking into every possible program your school might offer. They don t have grad housing, but make sure you re not missing any kind of grant, loan, or stipend program that might provide money you can use for housing.
