But who wants that commute? Besides, it's not like gambling cause no money is spent - unless they collect your credit fee, but that's only if there are only apartments available.

Who the hell wants to live in NJ?

The process is truly awful. Especially for middle income lotteries. They are already rare, as the lotteries are geared towards destitute individuals. Plus, the income bracket is so restrictive that there is no way someone on a 65K annual salary can afford a 1 bedroom at 2K a month because 65K isn't even 2K after taxes every 2 weeks. If someone makes 65K, their rent should be $1,100 for a 1 bedroom.
Also, the process is racially charged as well. I also find it funny the individuals processing the application now require a birth certificate, 401K statements, brokerage account statements, etc. If an individual had all this...they would be well off and would not need a lottery. Furthermore, the person processing all this probably doesn't even know how to read those type of financial statements.
So I went through the entire interview process. Documents sent to hpd. Come to find out I don't have cb preference. The lottery picked my application because it says I have a disability on my application. The dilemma is I don't have a disability or cb preference for the building. On the housing connect site it says I have no disabilities but somehow on all my applications it says I have a disability. My application is still pending. What should I do?

Confused by this post ppl applying to lotteries in nyc are applying because we want to live here. If there is so much in jersey you move to jersey and live your best life.

You really can’t do anything except to demand some sort of explanation. They owe you at least that much.
There was evidently some glitch in the system that flagged you as having a disability. What shocks me is that NO ONE at the marketing agency, which processed you and had all your documents, managed to notice that before sending to HPD? What level of incompetence is that?
Do you happen to work for the city? I’m just trying to come up with some hope here. Is the CB preference borderline? Maybe you live across the street? Could you contest that?
So the worst that can happen now is that you get put into the general pool of applicants and will be processed again when your log number comes up. You just have to hope and pray there is still an apartment left for you.
