纽约市推出福利协助团队 HART：300万美元助居民保住食品与医疗补助
位于纽约州的纽约市市长 Zohran Mamdani 宣布推出新计划，协助居民在联邦要求变化下保住食品与医疗补助资格。新设的「健康与可负担资源团队」（Health and Affordability Resource Team, HART）由市府拨款300万美元支持，帮助居民办理食品补助（SNAP）与医疗补助（Medicaid）的申请、续期与重新登记，并就住房援助、防驱逐与医院账单减免提供指引。
按市府公布，该团队将优先协助两类居民：已因联邦劳动要求失去 SNAP 的人，以及可能在新规下失去 Medicaid 的人。联邦新的 Medicaid 劳动要求将于2027年1月1日生效，65岁以下成人除豁免情形外，须证明每月有80小时的工作、学习或同等社区服务；市府估计，全市最多约90万名居民可能面临失去医疗保障的风险。居民可经市府 AccessHRA 平台或电话渠道向 HART 求助。

New York City Launches HART Benefits Team: $3 Million to Help Residents Keep SNAP and Medicaid Coverage
NEW YORK — Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City, in New York State, has announced a new plan to help residents maintain food and health assistance coverage amid changes in federal requirements. The initiative deploys a Health and Affordability Resource Team (HART), backed by $3 million in city funding, to assist residents with applications, renewals and re-enrollments for SNAP food assistance and Medicaid coverage, and to provide guidance on housing assistance, eviction prevention and hospital bill relief.
According to the city, HART will prioritize New Yorkers who have already lost SNAP under federal work requirements and those who could lose Medicaid when new federal Medicaid work requirements take effect on January 1, 2027. Adults under 65 will generally need to demonstrate 80 hours a month of work, study or equivalent community service unless they qualify for an exemption, and the city estimates up to 900,000 residents could be at risk of losing health coverage. Residents can request help through the city's AccessHRA platform and phone channels. (GSM, based on the New York City Mayor's Office announcement)
