Background
NYC Housing Connect is the city's online portal for affordable housing lotteries, run by HPD and the Housing Development Corporation. Each listing sets income and household size limits tied to a percentage of the area median income. Applicants apply online or by mail before the deadline. Applications are then ranked by random selection, and those selected must document their income and household before they are offered a unit. Some listings set aside a share of units for preference groups, such as local community board residents or people with disabilities.
