Background
In New York City, most new affordable rentals are offered through lotteries on NYC Housing Connect, which is run by HPD and the Housing Development Corporation. Rents and eligibility are usually tied to set income bands based on area median income. Applicants must meet the income range for a specific unit. Rules in other states, including Hawaii, are set by their own agencies and differ from NYC's.
