ive been applying for nycha since i was 18 and nothing i recently put in a new application and just been waiting patiently hoping this time around i get called for an interview
so you are saying with your experience so far @NiniCakes from the date of your interview to be certified took 6 months?
Yes, i believe so. I never received any official statement that said "you're certified and deemed eligible to live in housing" just a letter stating that the processing of my application was complete and that i now needed to select a development (so i presume that means i'm certified). this whole process took 6 months to get this letter to select which development i'd like to be considered for. Now the next step is for them to call me when there is a vacancy in that development. i'm approved for a 1 bedroom so idk how long the wait will be, hopefully it's not too long!
Good luck nini....had my nycha interview yesterday so i hope im found eligible. How long did it take you to become eligible?
just to update on the hpd interview....
the management office was in one of the buildings they oversee, just not the one that i'm applying for, and the 2 girls who they had interviewing prospective tenants were soooooooooo unprofessional! they were chatting so loudly about other people that worked with them and just other random topics. you could tell that they weren't the sharpest knives in the drawer! but aside from them annoying the hell out of me, she did manage to assemble my paperwork and have me sign off on some verification forms. i didnt get to see the apartment as yet, but she told me it is a walk up building :-/ hence the lower rent. not bad if i'm on a lower floor but with my son, stroller, bags, etc. stairs are an inconvenience especially if you get placed on the top floor. we'll see what happens! i guess i can go with whoever calls me back first.
so guys i checked the automated system for the status of my application and turns out some one is living in housing with my social how do i fix this in order to get my housing no wonder ive been applying since i was 18 and nothing yet and im 26
could someone answer my question on the 18th of June 2012 i had my interview for housing were i had to take all my documents and i had to pick one out of the four housing apt where i want to lived i would like to know when you pick where you want is that mean you will get the apt
No and yes!!!!....your posting this question on all the updated nycha post and you can just look at the past post to answer your question. I am sorry if im being a bit rude but just because you had an interview and submitted a documents,that does not mean you get an apt just like that. First you have to past eligibility review and then get certified to that development and thats 3-6 or more months depending on what they need and what they find. Then you have to wait for that development to have an apt for you if you happen to come up when an apt is available. Some people have been waiting for years upon years for an apt. check the post,u see some people posted back in 2006,2007,2008 and still are waiting for an apt and were in 2012 about to hit 2013 soon. I hope this answered your question and i hope i was not to mean with the beginning of my answer. I am sorry.
Go to the NYCHA office to apply by computer. Im still waiting for housing. I just about gave up already. All im waiting for is an interview and its taking forever
I just received a response stating that I must now choose a developement. Out of 7 developements in Brooklyn and Queens, the only one I could considered is Astoria but I have to go check the area out. I hope it's something I can take because if not, I would have to decline and I guess start all over.
