The New York City housing lottery process has been revised to lessen the documentation burden on applicants aiming for affordable apartments. The city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development has announced that applicants will now need to provide fewer documents, making it easier for individuals to qualify for income-restricted housing. Key changes include reducing the number of pay stubs required for employed applicants, expanding self-certification for lower asset holders, and relaxing documentation for those receiving federal benefits. This initiative is designed to expedite both the application process for renters and the overall efficiency for landlords.
"The changes aim to make it easier and quicker for income-restricted, subsidized apartments to be rented and sold - both for the applicants and the landlords."
"Applicants with jobs must submit only a single month of pay stubs rather than as many as six in the previous process."
