An affordable housing lottery has opened up for 32 units in six buildings in Harlem, with openings for people making a wide range of income.
The buildings are spread over a large area from just above Central Park at 112th Street, to 139th Street. The addresses are 118 West 139th Street, 123 West 112th Street, 30 West 132nd Street, 281 West 118th Street, 120 West 139th Street, and 122 West 139th Street. The group of buildings is known as the Uptown 6.
Four of the buildings in the Uptown 6 marked with letters.
The units are spread throughout the buildings, and eligibility depends on the size of your household and your income. They are for people making up to 80% of the area median income. Depending on size, households making from $48,480 to $120,080 can apply. There are studios and apartments with multiple bedrooms — two four-bedroom apartments will rent for $2,230 a month.
The city has revamped its housing application process, making it easier for people to apply to multiple projects. Check out the site to apply here.
What are the requirements. Aside from income
Winning the lottery !
The whole application process is explained on the site the article links to. The other major restriction is a cap on non-retirement assets. But you can find all the details there.
Political connections.
Why are u asking about political connections?
I didnt fing it in NYC C
Affordable housing used to be affordable for people making $27,000.00 and up. It’s very disheartening to see the affordable housing going to people who could easily afford paying more!
Where can we get an application?
I would like a one bedroom apartment. I have a NYC FHEPS Voucher and I am retired with Social Security income.
It’s most definitely a product of my age that my eyes popped when I saw that an individual making $68,679 qualifies for subsidized housing.
Single person earning gross annual income of $69,000 per year has a net income of $49,786.

That does not include any other deductions from paycheck (health insurance, retirement savings, etc…). Then any debt that must be serviced each month comes out of that number as well (credit/charge cards, student loans….)
These lotteries (IIRC) use gross not net income for application purposes.
Net income for someone earning $70k per year isn’t great as you’d imagine. Both NYC and NYS are high tax areas, then there is federal and payroll (Social Security & Medicare) taxes deducted.
When all is said and done residents of NYS/NYC can their annual gross income reduced by nearly 33% after taxes. That is what people have to live upon.
Racial diversity and now financial diversity are for better or worse, a sign of the times we live in.

To support these subsidized rents, the minimum wage would need to $25/hr in order for rent to be one-third of income. Hey Bezos, can you spare a dime?
I appreciate housing authority
Forget affordable let’s do low income smh for people making 80% of median income wow
Since luxury apartments and condos came into the area the media income rose uhmmmm now you connect the dots
I need four bedrooms how much it coast me twin sister .cuz and a baby
News flash: none of you are getting a subsidized apartment if you can’t manage to drum up the motivation to click on the application link included in the article. No one is combing through the comments of WSR to hand-pick you. This should be obvious.
Not everyone is as good at working the system as the more fortunate readers of WSR are, you know. Getting cranky at people in lousy housing situations isn’t exactly the holiday spirit.
