The city's Department of Homeless services says it fears it is going to have to terminate the Advantage program, which places homeless families in apartments and helps them stay there by paying most of the rent for up to two years.

"The devastating part of this for families is that the governor is proposing to pull the rug from underneath people who are already in the community," said Department of Homeless Services Commissioner Seth Diamond.

If $65 million in Advantage funding is cut from the state budget, the city says it will have to terminate Advantage starting next week, while 3,000 families are looking for apartments through the program.

"Some of them are days away from moving and they are not going to be able to do so because of this cut," said Diamond.
