Background
Affordable housing lotteries in New York City are generally run through NYC Housing Connect under city oversight, often by HPD or the Housing Development Corporation. Applicants usually submit one application per household per lottery, and duplicate applications can lead to disqualification. Applications are typically ranked in random order. Many lotteries reserve shares of units for preference groups, such as people with mobility, vision or hearing disabilities or residents of the local community board. Applicants who are selected then go through an eligibility review and must document their income and household size before they can sign a lease.
