New York City Housing Connect, launched in 2013, is an online platform facilitating access to affordable housing in NYC. It features lotteries for various developments, requiring applicants to meet specific income criteria determined by Area Median Income. Affordable units are often included in new building plans to gain approval from city officials. Each lottery also reserves units for targeted demographics such as city employees and local community members. This week, several lotteries for affordable housing - particularly in Brooklyn and Queens - are set to expire, underscoring the urgency for potential renters.
Once users apply for an eligible unit, they are issued a log number, and then the numbers are chosen at random by an automated system, lottery-style.
For the uninitiated, New York City Housing Connect is an online platform that aims to provide New Yorkers with opportunities for affordable prices on apartments in new developments.
