What it means
Tenants and voucher holders
The lowest qualifying income is $75,189 for a studio, so these units are aimed at moderate-income households, not very low-income ones. Budget for electricity on top of rent, since heat and cooking are on the tenant's bill.
Caseworkers
Clients have until 11/26/2026 to apply, and their household income must fall inside the range for the unit size they want. The listing as reported does not say whether vouchers are accepted, so confirm before steering clients with low earned income toward it.
Landlords
These 80 percent AMI rents in Tremont, from $2,040 for a studio to $2,962 for a three-bedroom with tenant-paid heat, are a public reference point for what new regulated units in the area are asking.
The highlights
- 13 units are set aside for households earning 80 percent of area median income.

Background
NYC affordable housing lotteries are run through NYC Housing Connect, the city's application portal overseen by HPD and the Housing Development Corporation. Applicants generally apply online or by mail before the deadline, and applications are then randomly ordered. Developers or their marketing agents contact applicants in that order and check income, household size and other eligibility rules before offering a unit. Many lotteries also give preference to certain groups for a share of units, which are spelled out in each listing.
