Scale profile for The Municipal Hsng Authority City Yonkers
With 5,133 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, The Municipal Hsng Authority City Yonkers sits at the 97th percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 96th percentile inside NY.

The nationwide HUD median sits at 62%; agencies running a higher HCV share than that tend to lean toward tenant-based vouchers rather than project-based public housing stock.
