AFFORDABLEAFFORDABLEHOUSINGHOUSING

Under New York City's affordable housing program, lottery preference for 50% of available units is given to people who already live in the Community District where the housing is being built or rehabiliated.  Given how strongly segregated almost every single community district in New York City is, the preference cannot help but result in occupancy that is more segregated than would otherwise be the case. 

We encourage people to apply for all housing in which you are interested and for which you are financially qualified, regardless of whether you already live in the Community District or not.

The Center is pleased to see that some developments are now making applications available online so as to increase ease of availability.
