"How do you decide which applicant gets which apartment?
We use the date you fulfilled our two requirements to move you through the process. Our requirements to process you are a complete application (with all back-up material and the money order for the credit check) and attendance at a Homeownership Workshop. We contact applicants in the date order these requirements are met. We also consider income guidelines, household size, and the results of the interview with the Shareholder Selection Committee (You will be required to prove your income and family size with back-up). If we are able to offer an applicant a unit, it will be sized appropriately based on our assessment of family need. If an applicant insists on a unit size we consider “over housed” – defined using NYC government and housing nonprofit standards -- all appropriately sized households will receive priority consideration before the applicant in question will be considered at all. Units in affordable co-ops are rare, and we work to make the resource match the need. "

I have not completed a home ownership workshop yet, did anyone else complete the home ownership workshop?

I have not completed a home ownership workshop yet, did anyone else complete the home ownership workshop?
I did, it's a workshop class about history of UHAB.
Im applying for affordable housing for years
this one was my last chance
I didn't get the letter with log number or call,
I assuming they would no longer contact anyone.
Does anyone know if getting an interview means that theres a high chance of you getting a unit in the building?
Nope, it just means that you have a chance to get a unit. And it also depends on the log number (lower is better).
They have to make sure what was stated on the application matches the paperwork you are requested to provide.
The interview is really just handing over the documents and signing release forms for UHAB and/or the city to look into your records.
I went to my interview in January, but I'm still waiting for updates.
Did you get an interview date? Which unit are you applying for? 3 BR, 1 BR, or Studio?
