Mayor de Blasio’s executive budget released Thursday is expected to include $100 million to reduce the homeless shelter population.

That investment will cover the cost of moving more than 7,000 families out of the shelter system and into permanent housing with rental subsidies called Living in Communities or LINC.

“Making sure that we continue to have that ability to move our families who are in shelter ... to permanent housing and have the financial support that they would need in order to maintain their homes — this budgetary investment will allow us to do that,” said Gilbert Taylor, Commissioner at the Department of Homeless Services.

The LINC program was introduced last September, and it has so far allowed 1,553 hundred households to move into apartments. 56,602 people still live in shelters.

The mayor also wants to create a new prevention subsidy and a new federally-funded rental assistance program for 1,250 households that are in the shelter system or chronically street homeless.
