NYC Launches Team to Help Residents Keep Medicaid The city launched a new outreach team today to help New Yorkers keep their Medicaid coverage and navigate changes to SNAP benefits. The $3 million Health and Affordability Resource Team, known as HART, will also connect residents with housing assistance, hospital bill relief and other financial support. City officials estimate that new federal Medicaid work and documentation requirements taking effect January 1, 2027, could put up to 900,000 city residents at risk of losing coverage.
