Homey is a mobile app designed to streamline New York City's affordable housing lottery application process. Created by Wout Stienaers in response to frustrations with the cumbersome Housing Connect portal, Homey enables users to quickly create profiles and apply for multiple lotteries without repetitive questions and extensive documentation. The app tracks application statuses and simplifies the process significantly, making affordable housing more accessible amidst the city's ongoing initiatives. Initial user feedback indicates that Homey effectively meets a crucial need in the NYC housing market.
"I figured it'd take, what, 30 minutes? Instead, I ended up drowning in forms, wondering whether it's even worth it to try finishing the application process."
"Unlike Housing Connect, which was designed for desktop (despite nearly a quarter of NYC households lacking one), Homey is mobile-first."
"The app inputs your information into the Housing Connect system and tracks your application status in one place."
"For the first time in years, getting into affordable housing in NYC might actually become easier with Homey."
